Mama called you baby center stage
|
She could really run her mouth
|
Baton Rouge called you petit ange
|
And Birmingham could run you out
|
|
Doesn¡¯t anybody see how scared you are?
|
There was a time I was running you down
|
But the world kept spinning round
|
Doesn¡¯t anybody see how scared you are?
|
There was a time when you were running to me,
|
But the lightning spared the tall tree
|
|
When your moon lights up the riverside
|
Making mud and bad blood
|
You can call me anytime
|
For all it¡¯s worth, Louisiana¡¯s still not enough
|
|
In your restless days,
|
I got lost, I got saved
|
In your restless nights
|
I swam blind,
|
Somehow falling into the light
|
|
Doesn¡¯t anybody see how scared you are?
|
There was a time I was running you down
|
But the world kept spinning round
|
Doesn¡¯t anybody see how scared you are?
|
There was a time you were running to me
|
But the hurricane had mercy
|
|
In your restless days
|
All that wind, all those waves
|
In your restless nights
|
We closed our eyes,
|
Killed each other and came to life
|
|
In your restless days
|
I made my bed, I dug my grave
|
In your restless nights
|
We both swam blind,
|
Somehow falling into the light
|
