Connor Christian & Southern Gothic Sheets Down
Well it was barely past eleven when my pills kicked in
That cabernet didn’t hurt my cause as I stumbled down the rue
Not even half as drunk as these strangers I pass
Stumbling in and out of bars as they smoked cigars and laughed
I don’t even think anyone’s from here anymore
Well it’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou
And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
And we never wanna go back home again
It’s all art and war if it’s written about
Tell me what else could ever really last
Trepidation and devastation are all that remain
Of those things we thought we’d learned from years that passed
Everything else just fades so fast
When it’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou
And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
And we never wanna go back home
Don’t it make you feel so helpless
Sometimes it makes you feel so lost
Your love’s all I got baby
The things I thought I’d never say
Are pouring from my heart like la la la la la
The things I’ve forgotten are all but a few
Just a stain in the back of my mind
See I remember there’s something girl
But I’m never sure just what
So I just sit here looking for a sign
One that I may never find
Well it’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou
And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
And we never wanna go back home when
It’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou
And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
And we never wanna go back home again
Don’t it make you feel so helpless
Sometimes it makes you feel so lost
Your love’s all I got baby
The things I thought I’d never say
Are pouring from my heart like la la la la la
