Lyrics:
BACKWATER VOODOO
by Adam Greuel
Got that old backwater voodoo
Got that old backwater voodoo
Backwater voodoo, gonna rise you a little higher
Got
place in the lowlands at night
And I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things
And go and I'm backwater blues done call me to pack my things
Woo-woo
She's the backwater bayou type
Salty clothes sticking down tight
Boot stompin' queen of the night
Breaking hearts one at time, woo-woo
and I'm loaded I'm a freak and I know it
And when I'm gone put my ashes in the river
Yeah that's where I belong
In the backwaters in the backwaters
I've
to leave you here's
Another drama in the backwater
It's half past ten - I think I might've said
A favoured lion in the amphitheater
It's time for us to leave
She was born in a backwater bay
South of New Orlean
Her daddy was a bootleggin' roustabout
By no means a man of means
She grew up quick and she grew
Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway, needed
Down at backwater junction
Rolling down the line
In the dark early morning
I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway
Needed
Well, backwater done rose all around
Sumner now, drove me down the line
Backwater done rose at Sumner,
Drove poor Charley down the line
Lord,
Hold you bitches by the neck, and put you bitches under water
Put you bitches on blast, you bitches backwater
I'm claustrophobic, ion wanna be around
the backwater swirling, there is
Something that will never change
And when I should of been gone a long time
Laughs and says, I find ways
Just when we're
The backwaters done broke the levee, and I can't stay here no more.
Found my boat, just about four miles ‘cross the pond.
And I rowed my boat, about four miles
I don't ever wanna be like that
Well the rambler's gonna run, talker's gonna preach
Sons of the backwater woods are gon' creep
So I'm trying
And I said load it on up
And drive it on down
Let's get lost somewhere
Backwater fishin' got everyone wishin'
That they could all be there
Sunset
any means for the green
Tucked in, hold heat by the sheet
(W)rapped on em, only left I pass on em
Right movement, wade thru the backwaters
Sun? Dazed,
upon some high old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then looked down on the house were I used to live
Backwater
Vote for me
Leave the world behind you
Soon you'll see
There's no one else beside you
Backwater Baby I don't want to be your friend
But no one loves
God Damn, you finally found me
I wonder what took you so long
I've been nearly drowning
In the backwater all alone
I'm blowing up my aggravation
Just
Backwater
We're sailing at the edges of time
Backwater
We're drifting at the waterline
Oh we're floating in the coastal waters
You and me
Well, backwater done rose all around Sumner now,
Drove me down the line
Backwater done rose at Sumner,
Drove poor Charley down the line
Lord,
old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then looked down on the house were I used to live
Backwater
Blues done
stone
If I wore your wings back home
Where the dreams in the backwater drown us far from home
Give this to the gray, it comes back gold
Birds
down”
And my heart kept racing
"Don’t you settle down..."
Living in the country
In a small backwater town
Living in the country
Is it where my heart
Nothing is ever as it seems
Impossible occurrences, troubling dreams
There's a damp smell in the air
I look around, but no ones there
Backwater
