Mama called you
baby center stage
She could really
run her mouth
Baton Rouge called you
petit ange
And Birmingham could
run you out
Doesn’t anybody see
how scared you are
There was a time
I was running you down
But the world kept
spinning round
Doesn’t anybody see
how scared you are
There was a time
when you were running to me
But the lightning spared
the tall tree
When your moon
lights up the riverside
Making mud and bad blood
You can call me anytime
For all it’s worth
Louisiana’s still not enough
In your restless days
I got lost I got saved
In your restless nights
I swam blind
Somehow falling
into the light
Doesn’t anybody see
how scared you are
There was a time
I was running you down
But the world kept
spinning round
Doesn’t anybody see
how scared you are
There was a time
you were running to me
But the hurricane had mercy
In your restless days
All that wind all those waves
In your restless nights
We closed our eyes
Killed each other
and came to life
In your restless days
I made my bed
I dug my grave
In your restless nights
We both swam blind
Somehow falling
into the light
