The Big Easy

Man my little pregnant baby rolled right to the middle
Of the gushy feather mattress 
And the night sounds of Solomon Street
Kept her snuggled up to me 
cause somewhere within a block or two
A crime was takin' place
Least that's what the stats say
Bout the Big Easy
Bout the Big Easy

The good news is it brings us close
To things that give us comfort
Like eggplant sazaracs
And each other
And each other

Now we're headin' home to Lake Charles
Little barn on the bayou
To the jumpin' fish and tugboat's drone
That shakes the toilet bowl water
Life in Louisiana is one pleasure to another
Like eggplant sazaracs
And each other
And each other

D.C. said we all go out the same way we came in
Buck-naked broke carrying nothin' from one world to the next
and the dead man's wish to break through hell and keep
His kids from sufferin' gets met with
Eggplant sazaracs
And each other 
And each other
