Alright |
|
Bourbon blues on the street |
|
Loose and complete under skies so smokey blue green |
|
I can't forsake a dixie dead-shake |
|
So we danced the sidewalk clean |
|
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in? |
|
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim |
|
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? what's going on? |
|
Can tie yourself up for a deal |
|
He said, "Hey north you're south, shut you big mouth |
|
You gotta do what you feel is real" |
|
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs |
|
My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years |
|
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire |
|
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire |
|
Picking out the highlights of the scenery |
|
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me |
|
I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks |
|
Looked up to the Lord above and said, "Hey, man thanks" |
|
Sometimes I feel so good, I gotta scream |
|
She said, "Gordie baby, I know exactly what you mean" |
|
She said, she said, I swear to God she said |
|
Oh no, no yeah |
|
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in? |
|
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim, swim |
