"Top it off, I'm bound for Texas "On this lonely stretch of Interstate 10" I got all of Louisiana To think of ways to tell her where I've been I'd like to kill that dirty dealer The way he played me ought to be a crime He pulled a flush out on the river And got me down to my last dime The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again On that damn river boat the dealers always win And I'm gonna lose her to the tables and the gin The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again Pull the shade over the window Crawl in bed with her as softly as I can I'll break the news to her tomorrow Lord, I hope she understands 'Cause we been saving up for babies And a little farmhouse near her father's land But I lost it all in Mississippi Buried way down in that Gulf Coast sand The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again On that damn river boat the dealers always win And I'm gonna lose her to the tables and the gin The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again On that damn river boat the dealers always win And I've lost a fortune out here paying for my sins The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again
