Lazy River Road

Way down upon Sycamore Slough White man sings the blues Selling roses of paper mache And flecks of starlight dew Swiped a bunch and threw them your way Where hazy moonlight glows Way down, down along lazy river road Way down upon Shadowfall Ward End of the avenue Run, hide, seek in your own backyard Mama's backyard won't do All night long I sing love's sweet songs Down where the water flows Way down, down along lazy river road Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay Never quite catch the tune Stars fall down in buckets like rain There ain't no standin' room Bright blue boxcars train by train Clatter while dreams unfold Way down, down along lazy river road Way down upon Seminole Square Belly of the river tide Call for me and I will be there For the price of a taxi ride Nighttime double clutches into the day Like a truck down shifting it's load Way down, down along lazy river road Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay Never quite catch the tune Stars fall down in buckets like rain There ain't no standin' room Bright blue boxcars train by train Clatter while dreams unfold Way down, down along lazy river road Thread the needle right through the eye The thread that runs so true All the others I let pass by I only wanted you Never cared much for careless love Oh, how your bright eyes glow Way down, down along lazy river road Way down, down along lazy river road Way down, down along lazy river road
