Sweet Louisiana Sound
By: Billy Pilgrim
This is the first time I have posted to the news group.
I am missing a few lyrics here and might have some wrong,
but I think it is mostly right. I didn't include the intro
but I think it is just a simple variation of the chords in
the song. This song sounds pretty nice "acousticified".
Anyway any corrections/additions are welcome. Enjoy!!!!
Lookin' out from a hotel room
All alone on a Memphis afternoon
I've been waitin' for
this storm to pass
Gonna clear a path and you can kiss my ass goodbye
I walk the streets Where Elvis lived
But they ain't never gonna crown the king
And I never felt that broken hearted
I left before things ever got started
Chorus:
They got me on a riverboat driftin' down
Oh muddy water get me out of town
To that sweet Louisiana sound
Unerneath a neon light
Another ghost down Beal street tonight
I Ain't out to hurt nobody
but I played hand I lost all my money
They've got the dogs out after me
They're diggin in the trash but there's no scent of me
(Chorus)
Party boys out on Bourbon streets
Sweepin' them young girls right off of their feet
They got those love tatoos
Across their heart
They been...................... in Mardi Gras
Turn the jukebox loud as it can go
Pack 'em inside this our last show
(Chorus x2)
Driftin Louisana sound
Driftin down sweet Louisiana sound
