Big Easy (c) 2009 Adam Nixon There's a chill wind a blowing cross that Big Muddy tonight, Dark water flowing, and the time is almost right, Hurricane's a coming, coming to the Big Easy. Early in the evening, rain start coming down, Winds picking up, Lord, blowing an eerie, lonesome sound, The winds of change are coming, coming to the Big Easy. Hey everybody, the storm's rolling in Take cover while you can, 'cause it's about to begin There's a drowning rain a coming, coming to the Big Easy. Levees better hold now, or we'll all be floating soon, Sky so dark with clouds, it look like midnight at noon, Storms making life hard, down in the Big Easy. Rain keep on falling, and my world is caving in, Ain't heard from my woman, Lord my patience is growing thin, If she don't call me soon, they'll be trouble in the Big Easy. Hey now woman, why you acting this way, Been looking all over for you, and I ain't gonna wait another day, Come back to me baby, back in the Big Easy. Water level's rising, and my head's overflowing with rage, Frustration rolling over me, I'm like a wild beast in a cage, People if I let it loose, there'll be bloodshed in the Big Easy. Now Bourbon Street is singing, with that party atmosphere, They can't hear no woman screaming, through all the liquor and the beer Another life is ending, down in the Big Easy. Hey now woman, you'll never be my wife, You been running out on me girl, and now, you gone pay with your life, There's a murder going down, down in the Big Easy. I'm standing in the doorway, and the morning's coming on, Blood red sun a rising, and it's almost time for me to be gone, I'm sorry that is ended this way, down in the Big Easy. |
