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 whats this river Im in
New Orleans is sinking and I dont want to swim
Colonel Tom Whats wrong? Whats Going On
You cant tie yourself up for a deal
He said" Hey North youre south shut you big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real."
Aint got no picture postcards aint go no souvenirs
My baby she dont know me when Im 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 whats this river Im in
New Orleans is sinking and I dont want to swim
