[04:24.00]Memories of Crescent City
[04:24.00]Wednesday nights at the Rock-n-Bowl
[04:24.00]On the bandstand there is Snooks and guitar
[04:24.00]Pure gasoline for the soul
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]Take me back to the Mound City
[04:24.00]Any night across town
[04:24.00]Bennie for blues and James for barrel house
[04:24.00]The brown eyed handsome man is still around
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]You give yourself to the world
[04:24.00]You don't hold back much of anything
[04:24.00]Mother Theresa to the animal kingdom
[04:24.00]You know how high to set the bar
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]You give your words freely
[04:24.00]Takes it back to familiar ground
[04:24.00]But when you hold your cards close to your chest
[04:24.00]It shows you've been pushed too far
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]Looking back on Louisiana
[04:24.00]Where the dirty water flows
[04:24.00]And life there is a little easier
[04:24.00]As anyone who has been through knows
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]Conversations turn to metaphors
[04:24.00]Cards to the table you bring
[04:24.00]Fold your hand but save your best for later
[04:24.00]Don't know how long these angels sing
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]You give yourself to the world
[04:24.00]You don't hold back much of anything
[04:24.00]Mother Theresa to the animal kingdom
[04:24.00]You know how high to set the bar
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]You give your words freely
[04:24.00]Takes it back to familiar ground
[04:24.00]But when you hold your cards close to your chest
[04:24.00]It shows you've been pushed too far
[04:24.00]
[04:24.00]But when you hold your cards close to your chest
[04:24.00]It shows you've been pushed too far
[04:24.00]
