Track Insight / Lyrics
Big oak standin', roots runnin' deep
Toll booth sittin', secrets it keeps
Man in a hat, eyes lookin' down
Another nickel, another town
Night air thick, with that sweet honeysuckle smell
Hear that train whistlin', on its way to hell
Bayou blues got me singin' a mournful tune
Mississippi river, flowin' 'neath the pale moon
Hear the crickets chirpin', frogs sing their nightly plea
This old bridge is talkin', and she's speakin' to me
Trucks roll by, headlights cuttin' through
Dusty roads windin', where's my girl? Can't I find you?
Empty coffee cups, scattered on the seat
Another lonely night, another heart retreat
Night air thick, with that sweet honeysuckle smell
Hear that train whistlin', on its way to hell
Bayou blues got me singin' a mournful tune
Mississippi river, flowin' 'neath the pale moon
Hear the crickets chirpin', frogs sing their nightly plea
This old bridge is talkin', and she's speakin' to me
Shadows dancin', on the rusted steel
Stories whispered, in this old world deal
Whiskey's burnin', but my heart's cold and blue
Gotta keep movin', gotta see it through
Fireflies sparklin', like diamonds in the night
Maybe tomorrow, everything will be alright
But for now, these bayou blues, they hold me in their sway
Gonna keep on singin', 'til another break of day
Bayou blues got me singin' a mournful tune
Mississippi river, flowin' 'neath the pale moon
Hear the crickets chirpin', frogs sing their nightly plea
This old bridge is talkin', and she's speakin' to me
Gotta head back, gotta close the gate
One last glance at the moon, before it's too late
Bayou blues, they'll stay with me
A lullaby for the weary soul, eternally
Bayou blues...
