Bayou
Oh, your heart beats a million miles a minute
As you stare at your feet, the mud's getting real thick
You try to scream at what you think is unknown
But you feel it sleeping now, right between your toes
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh, and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
One knock, two knocks, three knocks, four
The Devil's come smiling, beating down your door
Pray to God to come and save your soul
Remember, boy, it's in your bones
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
No matter where you go
It's your home
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
You look back behind you now
You look through the fog
Everyone you knew, everyone you loved
They're all waving at you
Saying goodbye
Won't you go on son, and live your life
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
As you stare at your feet, the mud's getting real thick
You try to scream at what you think is unknown
But you feel it sleeping now, right between your toes
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh, and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
One knock, two knocks, three knocks, four
The Devil's come smiling, beating down your door
Pray to God to come and save your soul
Remember, boy, it's in your bones
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
No matter where you go
It's your home
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
You look back behind you now
You look through the fog
Everyone you knew, everyone you loved
They're all waving at you
Saying goodbye
Won't you go on son, and live your life
And you pray
And you cry
Just to sleep
Through the night
Oh and you pray
And you cry
Just to escape your dreams
To leave the Bayou behind
