Rodney Crowell - Stars on the Water lyrics

rate me

Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by

Pirogue pole or your natural soul

Keeps you tied to a tree high tide

Beer joint lights come on

And then the crowd starts rollin' in

Chorus:

Pretty soon you got stars on the water

You got stars on the water

It's like stars on the water, let it rain

Beaumont to Biloxi

Sea breeze at your door

Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes

White silver sandy shore

"Blue Light" lounge is shinin'

Way out on the view

Chorus:

It looks just like stars on the water

Just like stars on the water

Just like stars on the water, let it rain

(guitar instrumental)

When it's midnight down in Mobile

Moonbeams on the bay

They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down

And dig the good time sounds they play

All across the harbour

Night lights shinin' in

Chorus:

It looks just like stars on the water

Just like stars on the water

Just like stars on the water, let it rain

Chorus:

Pretty soon ya got stars on the water

You got stars on the water

It's like stars on the water, let it rain
