"Stars On The Water" lyrics

"Stars On The Water"

Down in Louisiana
Bayous by and by
Pirogue pole
Or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree, high tide

Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in

Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
It's like stars on the water
Let it rain

Beaumont to Biloxi
Sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shore

Blue Light Lounge is shinin'
Way out on the view

It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Let it rain

When it's midnight down in Mobile
Moonbeams on the bay
They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down
And dig the good-time sounds they play

All across the harbor
Night lights shinin' in

It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Let it rain

Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
It's like stars on the water
Let it rain
