Second Line |
| Steam rising off of the river at the break of day |
| Light creeping into room 218 at the Beaujolais |
| Left you crawling across the floor |
| Head ringing, your eyes so sore |
| Bloodshot, drowning while you down another bottle away |
| The ashtray is overflowing, it’s full of gray days |
| The devil that you knew one time may be the devil you save |
| Get up and find your shoes |
| There are some things that you just don’t lose |
| The street’s been a-creeping with the barefooting blues for days |
| Call me from the Second Line |
| Pour us up some cheap French wine |
| Pick up your feet, leave your blues fading to gray |
| Come on now cut your soul loose, the Second Line’s dancing away |
| There’s a crowd down under the window in a big parade |
| They got a brass band dancing in front, oh umbrellas they wave |
| They gonna shake it 'til the sun come down |
| They just laid old Moses deep in the ground |
| Get yourself together, walk yourself right out of your grave |
| Call me from the Second Line |
| Pour us up some cheap French wine |
| Pick up your feet, leave your blues fading to gray |
| Yeah, you got to rise up and put on your hat |
| You ain’t good but you ain’t that bad |
| The dirge is over, the band’s just beginning to play |
| Come on now cut your soul loose, the Second Line’s dancing away |
| Come on now cut your soul loose, the Second Line’s dancing away |
| The Second Line’s dancing away |
| The Second Line’s dancing away |
| The Second Line’s dancing away |
| The Second Line’s dancing away |
| The Second Line’s dancing away |
| The Second Line’s dancing away |
