Deep South |
Caught wind of the legend when we were kids |
On the banks of the Gulf Coast |
About the pirate gold left hidden here way back ago |
Then in a rage, Hurricane Audry, she blew |
Down the secret of the sheltering |
Oak |
They found Captain Lafitte’s buried |
Treasure, yeah anything goes |
In the Deep South |
We drive close tonight to that very site on Lake Peigneur road |
Past the tin top shacks that shimmer with the |
Corrugated waves from the glow |
Of a howling moon I’m soon to realize I must oblige |
Especially with the wild blue yonder |
That I’m seeing in your eyes |
I tell you, Azalea |
When they lay me down, child |
I’ll still be under the spell of |
The sweet keep of the Deep South |
The Deep South |
Like a chef on a mission in the kitchen with seductive recipes |
Let the spice in my life be the magic |
That surrounds and entices me |
Like when you feed the juke box all my silver at Maison Creole |
Till we feel the levitation of the |
Dance floor down in our soles |
I tell you, Azalea |
When they lay me down, child |
I’ll still be under the spell of |
The sweet keep of the Deep South |
The Deep South |
Now, only our eyes can follow the trail of serpentine smoke |
From the bonfire under the stars for the blessing of the boats |
You know, a healer in the swamp said the |
Stars guide us back and forth |
Like campfires burning on a steep and distant shore |
I tell you, Azalea |
When they lay me down, child |
I’ll still be under the spell of |
The sweet keep of the Deep South |
The Deep South |
