Track Insight / Lyrics
Steam calliope echoes, whistles bright
Dinner bell rings out for the evening light
Salty dogs and deckhands, driftin' home from shore
Mama's gumbo simmerin', savor each bite more
Then you slide up in your seat, a wistful sigh
Listen close and the secrets, they start to fly
Mighty Mississippi's lullaby, river ever-flow
Dreamin' of distant horizons, love notes echo low
Grits in the Bayou, steam risin' high
A siren's call, darlin', reachin' the open sky
Grits in the Bayou, secrets on the shore
If you're feelin' restless, ain't nothin' more
Night's veil descends, the city's slow unwind
Neon puddles glimmer, streets alive and inclined
Faded love letters rustlin', whispers of a past gone by
In
The shadows, hearts beating fast, love's bonfire's last sigh
Then you slide up in your seat, a wistful sigh
Listen close and the secrets, they start to fly
Mighty Mississippi's lullaby, river ever-flow
Dreamin' of distant horizons, love notes echo low
Grits in the Bayou, steam risin' high
A siren's call, darlin', reachin' the open sky
Grits in the Bayou, secrets on the shore
If you're feelin' restless, ain't nothin' more
Steam pipes hum and whistle, the heart of the machine
A lonesome hoot owl's cry, the rhythm of the scene
Danger and desire swirlin', the draw of the unknown
Fingers on the throttle, the fire burnin' hone
Grits in the Bayou, steam risin' high
A siren's call, darlin', reachin' the open sky
Grits in the Bayou, secrets on the shore
If you're feelin' restless, ain't nothin' more
Steam calliope echoes, whistles dim and fade
Night's veil lifted slowly, first light just grazin' the bay
Grits in the Bayou, yet another day's born
Every secret goes on, love's song forever sworn
