lyrics

"LOUISIANA DAYS, LOUISIANA NIGHTS"

Louisiana days, Louisiana nights 
Rivers of dreams under ever-changing light

Sky of huge billows and blue
Catches sudden, cool breeze
Turns dark as Goya's Giant steps,
And brows of Hoodoos,
Cracks like Alligator's Tail on doors of dungeons 
Thunder and lightning shoot to the plain
Lightning and rain shoot to the plan
And the porch-sitters' opera
 Plays on again, 
Another morning to dawn 
And the porch-sitters' opera 
Plays on again,
 Another morning to dawn
Louisiana days, Louisiana nights 
Rivers of dreams under ever-changing light

And the beats in this place,
 Never let up--they never stop 
You heard me--Yeah, you're right--
Yeah, you're right--You heard me-- 
The beats that put Funk in Hip-Hop
Skips in two-step,
Swings in Swamp Pop
Leading left to right, right to left
The beats in branches 
And in stones that haunt
 Never let up--they never stop
You heard me--Yeah, you're right

Freedom here
Freedom here be like nowhere
Freedom here be like nowhere else

Yeah, you're right--You heard me
You heard me--Yeah you're right
Freedom here be like nowhere else
Louisiana days, Louisiana nights
 Freedom here be like nowhere else

Rivers of dreams
Rivers of dreams
Rivers of dreams
Under ever-changing light.
