Memories of |
|
Crescent City |
|
Wednesday nights at the |
|
Rock-n-Bowl |
|
On the bandstand there is |
|
Snooks and guitar |
|
Pure gasoline for the soul |
|
Take me back to the |
|
Mound City |
|
Any night across town |
|
Bennie for blues and |
|
James for barrel house |
|
The brown eyed handsome man is still around |
|
You give yourself to the world |
|
You don't hold back much of anything |
|
Mother Theresa to the animal kingdom |
|
You know how high to set the bar |
|
You give your words freely |
|
Takes it back to familiar ground |
|
But when you hold your cards close to your chest |
|
It shows you've been pushed too far |
|
Looking back on |
|
LouisianaWhere the dirty water flows |
|
And life there is a little easier |
|
As anyone who has been through knows |
|
Conversations turn to metaphors |
|
Cards to the table you bring |
|
Fold your hand but save your best for later |
|
Don't know how long these angels sing |
|
You give yourself to the world |
|
You don't hold back much of anything |
|
Mother Theresa to the animal kingdom |
|
You know how high to set the bar |
|
You give your words freely |
|
Takes it back to familiar ground |
|
But when you hold your cards close to your chest |
|
It shows you've been pushed too far |
|
But when you hold your cards close to your chest |
|
It shows you've been pushed too far |
