lyrics

shootin’ for the moon
(Sonny Landreth)
Waiting there by the side of the river
Waiting there but she did not show
Wringing his hands and shaking his head
Checking his watch it’s time to go
They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin’ for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin’ for the moon
Out here the truth is all you can see
But there is a trick in the thick of it all
The ghost in a fog is a thin line
Between first light and last call
They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin’ for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin’ for the moon
Waiting there by the side of the river
Get ready to cross to the other shore
Standing there by the side of the river
It never locked so wide before
They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin’ for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi
Shootin’ for the moon
Crash landed in the Crescent City
Shootin’ for the moon

Creole angel
(Sonny Landreth)
Bottle rocket combo got a corner on the crowd
Under her old balcony above a bar called
The Black Cat Prowl
Sets off memories how she laughed every time
I’d break her silence with a piece of my mind
A callin’ ...
Creole Angel come on down
Pray tell are you ready now?
Dusty saint an the dashboard
Will bless the berth of my old Ford
Creole Angel Northbound
Even now I hear the sound
Of open arms like wings apart
Taking off with a jump start
Creole Angel my Creole Angel
Jump start baby
It’s a jet stream of conscious
Out of body tale
Through the Natchez Trace
Like a vapor trail
We saw the steam rise and the Mercury fall
Between New Orleans and Old Montreal
I remember …
Creole Angel come on down
Pray tell are you ready now?
Dusty saint on the dashboard
Will bless the berth of my old Ford
Creole Angel Northbound
Even now I hear the sound
Of open arms like wings apart
Taking off with a jump start
Creole Angel my Creole Angel

Congo Square
(Sonny Landreth, David Ranson, Roy Melton)
Might be superstition but some kind of somethin’
Goin’ on down there
Might be superstition but some kind of somethin’
Goin’ on down there
It’s an old time tradition when they play their
Drums at night in Congo Square
You can hear ‘em in the distance
And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
You can hear 'em in the distance
And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
That’s when the voodoo people gather
And they play their drums at night in Congo Square
... Voodoo people
My eyes were not believin’
What I seen there but I could not turn away
My eyes were not believin’
What I seen there but I could not turn away
They had that mojo in motion
And I seen ‘em dance in trance with that snake
... Snake dance
It might be superstition
But when I hear ‘em in the night I say a prayer
It might be superstition
But when I hear ‘em in the night I say a prayer
And that’s ‘cause I respects tradition
Like the kind they carry on in Congo Square
... Congo Square
