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? 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? How do we make this heart beat on and on? How do we make this heart beat on and on? 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 (heart beat) 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? 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

Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds All that's left of what we were, it's what we have become Once our empires glorious but now the empire's gone The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done Now we are victorious, we've become our slaves A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding? Holding on to fury is that all we ever know Ignorance our judge and jury, all we've got to show From Hollywood to Babylon, holy war to kingdom come On a trail of dust and ashes when the burning sky is done A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear The earthquake is a-comin' but you don't wanna hear You're just too blind to see Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding, riding next to you? Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding, riding next to you?

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
