LYRICS
I hated high school, I prayed it would end
The jocks and their girls, it was their world, I didn't fit in
Mama said, "Baby, it's the best school that money can buy,
Hold your head up, be strong, c'mon Mary, try."
I stole mama's car on a Sunday and left home for good
Moved in with my friends in the city, in a bad neighborhood
Charles was a dancer, he loved the ballet
And Kimmy sold pot and read Kerouac and Hemingway
Drag Queens in Limousines nuns in blue jeans
Dreamers with big dreams all took me in
Charly and I flipped burgers to cover the rent
And Bourbons at Happy hour for .35 cents
One day before work we got drunk and danced in the rain
They fired us both, said, "Don't y’all come back here again."
CHORUS
My daddy went to college, and he worked for the state
He never quit nothing he wanted me to graduate
My brother and sister both play in the marching band
They tell me they miss me, but I know they don't understand.
Sometimes you got do, what you gotta do
And pray that the people you love, will catch up with you.
Yea drag queens in limousines nuns in blue jeans
Dreamers with big dreams poets and AWOL marines
Actors and bar fly’s writers with dark eyes
Drunks that philosophize these are my friends

LYRICS
When I was a kid I was a hard headed pig tailed tomboy I made mama crazy cause I wouldn’t wear dresses and bows
I played with boys and I liked tackle football
I shot snakes with my brother down at the fishing hole
I’d fantasize I was Evil Kineval
I built ramps jumped garbage cans broke my wrist bone
Picked blackberries in the summer reaching right thru snake spit
Mama said girl slow down you’re accident prone
The best part of those days is I was carefree
Nobody telling me to act more like a girl
When you’re 10 years old it’s cute to be a tomboy
But in a couple of years you gotta deal with the ways of the world
In the summer I’d cut grass to make a few bucks
I worked for Mr. Jones for years he called me son
I’d take his money and I’d say thank you kindly
He thought I was a boy I didn’t tell him I wasn’t one
Then came the time there was no getting out of it
They made me wear a dress to a wedding I was in
My brother laughed at my dress and I punched his lights out
The day was ruined and mama said never again
I saved up fifty dollars and bought a dirt bike
It lasted three days till mama took a heart attack
I never shoulda popped that wheelie with mama watching
I scared her half to death, she made me bring the damn thing back")

LYRICS
We lie here and we lie here awaiting the return
Of the passion that has left us with the patience we’ve learned
Sinking in the ashes of the red night’s final swing
The sun fades the color of everything
We lie here and we lie here without much to say
In our silent sanctuary we call it a day
Seasons change quietly winter whispers spring
The sun fades the color of everything.
Me and you, we wait it out it might be ‘round the bend
Every time we think it’s gone it comes back again
We hold on to each other but to our faith we cling
The sun fades the color of everything
We lie here and we lie here waiting for a sign
You follow yours and I follow mine
Sleeping with our backs turned floating off on polished wings
The sun fades the color of everything
Me and you, we wait it out it might be ‘round the bend
Every time we think it’s gone it comes back again
We hold on to each other but to our faith we cling
The sun fades the color of everything")

LYRICS
Mama said she don’t give a damn what those people say
Cane smoke can’t be good for you day after day
Every year at harvest time when the black smoke filled the sky
She’d pick me up and take me home and make me stay inside
From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields
All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain
A dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane
Christmas on the bayou, midnight come and gone
Driving past the sugar mill and all the lights are on
The parking lot is full of trucks I can see the furnace glow
Everybody’s working overtime, it’s a good job, even though
From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields
All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain
A dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane
First came the sugar cane, then came Thibodaux
Cane sugar built this town, cane sugar paved these roads
They burn the leaves to harvest cash, money for the company
Money makes the world go round, money, money, money
From Thibodaux to Raceland there’s fire in the fields
All the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain
A dirty dark at daybreak burning, burning
The soot and ash are falling like a dark and deadly snow
The air is full of poison to the Gulf of Mexico
Dirty air, dirty laundry dirty money dirty rain
A dirty deal with the devil, burning the sugar cane")
