Adam Carroll - Rice Birds - House Concert - 5/7/17 - Atlanta, GA
Lyrics:
I was thinkin' of you when the rice birds flew,
When the false dawn came with mornin' dew.
You're a thunderstorm ragin' outside my garage,
You're the white shirt peekin' through my camouflage.
I was thinkin' of you and I won't forget,
Tale of the Turtle and Bayou Teche.
I cannot dance but I can hang on,
To some sweet memory down in Oberlin.
Well, I was thinkin' of you at the Mardi Gras,
Ford's and Chevy's like I never saw.
I wish you were there to dance with me,
And to hear that Cajun symphony.
I was thinkin' of you at the LA bar,
Where I got so drunk I couldn't drive my car.
I was dreamin' about you with my 10 ounce BEER,
Dreamin' sweet daydreams wishin' you were here.
I was thinkin' of you when you had braids in your hair,
It was down in Houston, coulda been anywhere.
I was dreamin' about you with my changin' ways,
And I still think about you in my travelin' days.
I was thinkin' of you where the sunset glows,
Down the old Mississippi where the Gulf wind blows.
I was dreamin' about you and the Fleur-de-lis,
I was wishin'... I was wishin'...I was wishin'...
You were next to me.
