Houston |
Mama’s got a baby sleeping in a grocery cart |
Daddy’s eyes are hazy wondering where they are |
Waiting for the buses, waiting on some providence |
Once we get to Houston, maybe it will all make sense |
Praying to the Father and calling for the cavalry |
Look at all this water and somehow not a drop to drink |
Now did you ever hear of nightmares coming in the light of day? |
Once we get to Houston, maybe they’ll just wash away |
Roll on Mississippi, goodbye Crescent City |
Le bon temp New Orleans, never coming back to stay |
Never been to Texas, hope this bus is on a tear |
Never seen the President, maybe he will lead us there |
And I never knew a promise that didn’t break right in two |
Once we get to Houston, maybe one will come true |
Roll on Mississippi, goodbye Crescent City |
Le bon temp New Orleans, never coming back to stay |
Last night I dreamed of rain but golden light was all I saw |
I heard my old dog barking, went to see Mardi Gras |
And I stood up on the banks and looked out over Pontchartrain |
I woke up here in Houston, didn’t even know my name |
Roll on Mississippi, goodbye Crescent City |
Le bon temp New Orleans, never coming back to stay |
Roll on Mississippi, goodbye Crescent City |
