Track Insight / Lyrics
Cypress boards hold midnight flour
Baker drifts past screening hour
Flour dust on worn-out jeans
Best beignets in these scenes
Sugar rises, yeast takes flight
Porch swing creaks through dusky light
Night shift done, the ovens cool
Swing holds court by water's pool
Porch swing sings a low-down tune
Underneath a copper moon
Bayou breathes and swing keeps time
Every creak a rhythm rhyme
Moths tap dance on yellow light
Baker exhales smoke rings white
Crickets chorus, frogs keep beat
Swing rocks slow in humid heat
Powdered sugar on rough hands
Best in all the bayou lands
Night shift done, the ovens cool
Swing holds court by water's pool
Porch swing sings a low-down tune
Underneath a copper moon
Bayou breathes and swing keeps time
Every creak a rhythm rhyme
Catfish jump, a silver flash
Baker counts his daily cash
Tips in jar, the rent is paid
Dreams of shop he'll soon have made
Porch swing sings a low-down tune
Underneath a copper moon
Bayou breathes and swing keeps time
Every creak a rhythm rhyme
Spanish moss drapes heavy now
Baker wipes his tired brow
Pie crust cooling on the rail
Night birds sing a lullaby tale
Porch swing sings a low-down tune
Underneath a copper moon
Bayou breathes and swing keeps time
Every creak a rhythm rhyme
Stars come out like sprinkled salt
Baker's stories never halt
Swing remembers every hand
Best damn seat in Louisiana land
Porch swing sings a low-down tune
Underneath a copper moon
Bayou breathes and swing keeps time
Every creak a rhythm rhyme
One more creak for good old time
Creak says welcome, regulars know
Coffee's hot, the bayou's slow
