ok the only reason i posted this video is because there is not enough sunny landreth on youtube. so i took 3 of my favorite songs from the south of I-10 album and i put the audio into the movie. i feel he is one of the most underrateed artists in the blues world. so enjoy his music!

Shootin' For the Moon Lyrics :
Waiting there by the side of the river
Waiting there but she did not show
Wringing his hands and shaking his head
Checking his watch it's time to go

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin' for the moon

Out here the truth is all you can see
But there is a trick in the thick of it all
The ghost in a fog is a thin line
Between first light and last call

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin' for the moon

Waiting there by the side of the river
Get ready to cross to the other shore
Standing there by the side of the river
It never looked so wide before

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirrow of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin' for the moon

south of I-10 Lyrics:
I woke up in Mississippi in '51
Migrated next door became a native stepson
Grew up on the rhythm of Clifton and Cleveland
And the Red Hot Louisiana Band

Rocking my baby through the Seventies roll
In '81 I counted thirty years old
Turning me loose and yet holding me close
Life was a waltz that wouldn't let go

Allons danser, Allons danser
Come on let's dance, come on let's dance
South of I-10 we really had it made

Lafayette boomed 'till they capped offshore
Then the oil families couldn't take it no more
A two-step too fast with one foot slower
I lost my partner when we hit the floor

Allons danser, Allons danser
Come on let's dance, come on let's dance
South of I-10 we really had it made

While the band was cookin' at the bar I went broke
And Clifton's accordion was starting to smoke
With a gold toothed grin and a laugh and a shout
He said "I feel like a jet y'all, we're takin' off now!"

So rock me high through the ups and the lows
'Til the music stops and it's time to go
Accept this dance for the life we know
And we'll get back up when we hit the floor

Allons danser, Allons danser
Come on let's dance, come on let's dance
South of I-10 we really got it made

Native Stepson lyrics: None this song is an instremental.
