Lazy River Road

1. Way down along Sycamore Slough

A white man sings the blues

Selling roses of papier mache

With flecks of starlight dew

I swiped a bunch and I threw it your way

Where hazy moonlight glowed

R: Way down, down along lazy river road

2. Way down along 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

R: Way down...

*: Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay

Never quite catch the tune

Stars fall down in buckets like rain

Till there ain't no standing room

Bright blue boxcars, train by train

Rattle while dreams unfold

Way down, down along lazy river road

3. Way down along Seminole Square

Belly of the river tide

Call for me and I will be there

For the price of a taxi ride

Night time double clutches into today

Like a truck downshifting its load

R: Way down...

Solo

*: Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay...

4. Thread the needle right through the eye

The thread that runs so true

All the others I let pass by

I only wanted you

I never cared much for careless love

But, oh, how your bright eyes glowed

R: Way down... (3x)
