Jambalaya (On The Bayou) - Hank Williams & The Drifting Cowboys

A shot to the veins Taste the rush I was lost on an escape to love Untraceable It's not the same Not enough You and me was like a vivid dream Why'd you wake me up? Why'd you wake me up? You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount Paramount Distant screams The biggest lie What are we if never intertwined Forever undefined Take my hand Now or not at all Sow a seed, grow a plant Watch it spire tall Ever higher My love You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount Paramount Paramount Paramount Nights are longer now And I am, I am stronger Without you Without you I have come around Life is ocean, we were just travellers in the bayou In the bayou That we outgrew In the bayou In the bayou

There once was a musical troupe A pickin' singin' folk group They sang the mountain ballads And the folk songs of our land They were long on musical ability Folks thought they would go far But political incompatibility Led to their downfall Well, the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear was a Methodist This musical aggregation Toured the entire nation Singing the traditional ballads And the folk songs of our land (land) They performed with great virtuosity And soon they were the rage But political animosity Prevailed upon the stage Well, the one on the right was on the left And the one in the middle was on the right And the one on the left was in the middle And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license Well the curtain had ascended A hush fell on the crowd As thousands there were gathered To hear the folk songs of our land But they took their politics seriously And that night at the concert hall As the audience watched deliriously They had a free-for-all Well, the one on the right was on the bottom And the one in the middle was on the top And the one on the left got a broken arm And the guy in the rear said, "Oh dear" Now this should be a lesson If you plan to start a folk group Don't go mixin' politics With the folk songs of our land Just work on harmony and diction Play your banjo well And if you have political convictions Keep 'em to yourself Now, the one on the left works in a bank And the one in the middle drives a truck The one on the right's an all-night deejay And the guy in the rear got drafted

Play until my fingers hurt Write until I find the words (Ohh ohh) So much that I wanna say Before the moment slips away (Ohh ohh) So hard to find this place So hard to catch this chase Now that you fell into me Hit me like a melody (Ohh ohh) Everybody says that nothing ever lasts forever So I'm hanging on tight trying to keep it all tied together Everybody says that nothing ever lasts forever So I'm hanging on tight trying to keep it all tied together How do we make this heart beat on and on? And on and on And on and on How do we make this heart beat on and on? And on and on And on and on How do we make this heart beat on and on? Hold me like a photograph Fragile like a piece of glass (Ohh ohh) The future's headed for the past Full of sparks that couldn't last (Ohh ohh) So hard to find this place So hard to catch that flame Now that you fell into me Hit me like a melody (Ohh ohh) Everybody says that nothing ever lasts forever So I'm hanging on tight trying to keep it all tied together How do we make this heart beat on and on?

I'm just a man, but I know that I'm damned All the dead seem to know where I am The tale that began on the night of my birth Will be done in a turn of the earth Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it Every eye on the coast ever more Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore Under the waves and the earth of an age Lie a thousand old northerners' graves Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright They come rising up into the night Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it All who sail off the coast ever more Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore I'm going away for a long time I'm going away for a long time Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it Every eye on the coast ever more Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it All who sail off the coast ever more Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore I'm going away for a long time

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
