Lazy River Road

Lyrics:

• Way down upon Sycamore Slough
• a white man sings the blues
• selling roses of paper maché
• with flecks of starlight dew
• I swiped a bunch and threw it your way
• where hazy moonlight glowed
• Way down
• down along
• Lazy River Road


• Way down upon Shadowfall Ward
• End of the avenue
• Run, hide, seek in your own backyard
• Mama's backyard won't do
• All night long I sang Love's Sweet Song
• down where the water flowed
• Way down
• down along
• Lazy River Road


• Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay
• but never quite catch the tune
• Stars fall down in buckets like rain
• till there ain't no standin' room
• Bright blue boxcars train by train
• clatter while dreams unfold
• Way down
• down along
• Lazy River Road


• Way down upon Seminole Square
• belly of the river tide
• call for me and I will be there
• for the price of the taxi ride
• Night time double-clutches into today
• like a truck downshifting its load
• Way down
• down along
• Lazy River Road


• Thread the needle
• right through the eye
• The thread that runs so true
• All the others I let pass by
• I only wanted you
• Never cared for careless love
• but how your bright eyes glowed
• Way down
• down along
• Lazy River Road
