Driving all the way down to New Orleans | |
Singing songs noone will ever hear | |
As the birds were flying by we heard them calling | |
There's a place of our souls nearby the sea | |
Take me down to the ocean, to the promised land | |
All the dreams we had would finally come true | |
When I come back to my home town | |
I won't be the same | |
I'll be empty, I'll be missing | |
All the beauty I once knew | |
From Memphis down to Jackson, Mississippi | |
We were heading for the Gulf of Mexico | |
Every hour we would pass another city | |
Seeing places we have never seen before | |
As the moon rose over endless land | |
We stopped to get some sleep | |
And the stars above were telling us | |
Some secrets we will keep | |
Take me down to the ocean … | |
Like the rivers to the sea, | |
We would flow and still believe, | |
We would find our destination | |
Then a bird upon a tree | |
Sang a Song of Cedar Key | |
And he led us to the place | |
And it's harmony and grace | |
Took our hearts and let them stay forever | |
Take me down to the ocean … |
