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