Tracy Lawrence Shares Soulful Heartbreak Country Ballad ‘Gulf Of Mexico’

Tracy Lawrence recently shared the next track off his forthcoming EP, Out Here In It, the soulful heartbreak country ballad “Gulf of Mexico.”

“Gulf of Mexico” is the second release off his six-song EP, which is due to be released on June 7.

“I love a good ballad,” said Lawrence. “These kind of songs have always been some of my favorites to sing. When I heard Gulf of Mexico it was instantly a favorite that I had to record and put on the EP. I can’t wait for everyone to hear this song and like it as much as I do.”

“Gulf of Mexico” offers a neon lit, slow dance spin to the center of the EP, providing a roadmap of the broken-hearted, runaway places that Lawrence has searched for to mend his fractured heart.

Penned by Monty Criswell, Derek George and Bubba Strait, the track tugs heartstrings when Lawrence confesses that no matter how far he tries to run away from her and drown out the memory of what they used to share, she’s still in full ownership of his heart.

In addition to the song, a new music video was also released. Set against the backdrop of the Gulf’s rolling blue ocean waves, Lawrence’s spotlight puts his smooth, steady vocals on display as he sings through the soul-searching emotions heartbreak brings to the forefront.
