Chasin' tail in the bayou...what's the worst that could happen?
lyrics
I was down in Louisiana, north of Baton Rouge.
I caught a hankerin' for some French-Cajun loving
And a little hundred proof
I took a chance on this Creole with crazy golden eyes
She offered me a glass of warm malt liquor - taste like formaldehyde
Stop messin' around, my time has come
One more drink - one more taste of that voodoo rum
This side of town ain't safe for me
Come on, girl - grab your things and let's merrily
Old town Slidell - on the outskirts of Hell
We walked along the bayou; summer-thickened air
I couldn't take my eyes off that creole's tied up ebony hair
I spied an old cabana and I felt my breathing ease
Caught my boot on an old grave marker - wondered why I didn't care
Well I staggered on, but I couldn't run
That last drink; that last taste of her voodoo rum
Caught from behind, mouth full of blood
No more fight, face down in Mississippi mud
I'll fight the tide - headlong, head strong, but I won't be back in time
I woke up cold and hungry - angry by degrees
This big ol' boy with a mouth full of Beech-Nut welcomed me to Tennessee
I spit my grits-n-gravy; cursed her up-and-down
He just smiled with those crazy golden eyes and I figured I'd just back on down
I ain't messin' around, my time has come
One last chance - let me end what I should never begun
If it's fight-or-flight, well I'm on the run
Time is nigh:
Something wicked this way comes
I'm Northern bound - first road outta town
