Lyrics:
I recently went to a
Big homecomin' celebration
In Cleveland County Arkansas where I was born
Whole family went down and there was
A great day for us
Rising moon reflects off the lake
As I wear through my pair of shoes
And I realize once I reach my wake
All the holes in my parachute
So I gaze upon
name
From Allegheny County to the Finger Lakes
Smokey Joe, they know my name
I can hunt with a bow and I’m a jack of trades
My invitation must be lost in
road
And in the dark the headlights shine
'Cause there's one man dead
On that Harlan County line
Oh anger, like poison
Is eating at your soul
miles long
River to the lake, gonna take you along
Pontchartrain Railroad rollin' like a song
Lake to the river, you can't go wrong
Pontchartrain Railroad
New York invest
They say these railroads run with gold, I've never seen so I never know
Take the hammer, leave the gun, and work till the Salt lake
She's got a picket fence
ccross the railroad tracks
Manicured landscape
Tennis court in the back
Im on the other side of county route 105
cnd When
It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the County Fair
When I saw her for the first time
It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the County Fair
When I saw her for the first time
Jes trouves mons ceour
Dans lake Magog
Jes trouves mons ceour
Dans lake Magog
Jes trouves mons ceour
Dans lake Magog
Jes trouves mons ceour
Dans lake
the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
The keeper of souls down on Voodoo Lake
There's a city boy across the county line
Came looking for
And alabaster hair
Said her places needs fixin'
And I told her Id be there
County Queen County Queen
Comes from the other side
Where the river runs
the daughter of the devil, the sister of a snake
The keeper of souls down on Vodoo Lake
There's a city boy across the county line
Came looking for
It was Labour day weekend, I was seventeen,
I bought a coke and some gasoline,
and I drove out to the county fair.
When I saw her for the first time,
drive on for miles, find a new favorite place
Maybe out of this county, even out of this state
Buy a house on a hill with a dock on a lake
And hide
Like a Dade County Nigga with the golds all in my mouth
Like a Dade County Nigga with the golds all in my mouth
Like a Dade County Nigga with
Raised in the country on the edge of Broome County
Beside lakes and rivers where we spent our days
From the first light of morning we'd run down
eyes and tell me what you see
(Real nigga can never be fake)
For my family I'll swim across the sea
(Fuck a lake)
Lost a couple real niggas in
No credit could I gain,
Which filled my heart with longing for
The lakes of Pontchartrain.
I stepped on board a railroad car,
Beneath the morning
credit could I gain
Which filled me heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain.
I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun
in Hinsdale County
Way beneath the lake city stars
Hang me in Hinsdale County
I just want to be where you are
Wedding bells ring for a little while
Down round the curve in the old Camp Joy circle
You'll come to the end of the county paved road
Left toward the lake past my Uncle Jody's
My Papaw's
on for miles, find a new favorite place
Maybe out of this county, even out of this state
Buy a house on a hill with a dock on a lake
And hide away
Railroad and run away
Pray for the day niggas don't get taken away
For makin' a way to stop their baby's stomach aching today
I sip a whiskey straight, no
