I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun
And dream of Galveston

Written by Jimmy Webb and sung by Glen Campbell 1969

Galveston is a Vietnam War-era song. It’s about a guy who gets sent to Vietnam and thinks about his girl back home. It’s a simple song but incredibly catchy.

When I saw the sea waves crashing in Galveston, I was confused. I thought that the whole Gulf of Mexico had beaches like we have in the Florida Panhandle, but it doesn’t.

In fact, I felt like I was standing on the Atlantic coast. The water was dark. The waves were huge and grim. This sea was uninviting, unlike the Emerald Coast with its white sandy beaches and warm, turquoise water.
