Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete
|
Under skies all smoky blue-green
|
I can Forksake the dixie dead shake
|
So we dance the sidewalk clean
|
My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
|
New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
|
|
Colonel Tom What's wrong? What's Going On
|
You can't 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 go no souvenirs
|
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about thoes years
|
|
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
|
Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire
|
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
|
Saw a little cloud looked a little like me
|
|
I had My hand in the river
|
My feet back up on the banks
|
Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks
|
Some time I fell so good I gotta scream
|
She says Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean
|
She said, she said I swear to god she said
|
|
My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
|
New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
|
