Well, this is called
Rice
Birds.
This is a song that I kind of wrote
about special people
and places in kind of southwest
Louisiana,
and it turned out
OK, I hope.
And you know, it's a pretty good one,
if I do say so myself.
which I really shouldn't, but
I...
laughter
acoustic guitar plays
I was thinking of you when
the rice birds flew
When the false dawn came
with the morning dew
You're a thunderstorm raging
outside my garage
You're the white shirt peeking through my camou
flage
Well, I was thinkin' of you
and I won't forget
Tale of a turtle and biotech I
cannot dance but I can hang on
To some sweet memory down in
Oberlin
I was thinkin' of you at the
Mardi
Gras
Fords and
Chevys like I never saw
I wish you were there to dance with me
And to hear that
Cajun symphony
you
Well, I was thinkin' of you at the
L .A. bar
Where I got so drunk I couldn't drive my car
I was dreamin' about you with
my ten -house beer
Dreamin' sweet daydreams wishin' you
were here I was thinking of you with the braid
s in your hair it was down in
Houston could have been anywhere I was
dreaming about you in my changing
And I still think about you
in my travelin' days
I was thinkin' of you where
the sunset glows
Down the old
Mississippi where the gulf wind
blows I was dreamin' about
you in the florida leaves
I was wishing you were
next to me.
