Lyrics and Music by Ryan Gregory Floyd

lyrics

morning finds me by the riverside
in the wet hot sticky mess
ivory clouds that drift against the sound
of the morning waking up

the trouble with the place i’m in
is just the trouble with my heart
but if i’m back down in lousiane
well she’ll be making me alright

you found me there at the river bend
the mud stains on my dress
ashen eyes and no disguise
to cradle you in lies

the limit that you’re asking for
is just the limit of my love
but if i’m back down in lousiane
well she’ll be making me alright

and i was crawling back
down to new orleans
i had the whole world on
my shoulders and
no one could tell me twice
not to roll the dice
when you were halfway there
without a care

i’ve seen places, the polished faces
of the dour singing sort
starlight races meant to crush the laces
of the poor man’s bleeding heart

i won’t claim that i’ve always been
the surest of all bets
but if i’m good enough for lousiane
maybe i’m good enough for love
