Bayou Hurricane Lyrics by American Nomads

Ghost Highway

2017

Wake up, Mama, there’s a hurricane blowing up the bayou
With a gale force wind and raindrops as big as your hand
I’ve been searching for Daisy and God knows that’s all that I can do
And I know soon I’m gonna batten down and pray
Bayou hurricane, things won’t be the same
Gonna wash away the sins, make us young again
Bayou hurricane, it don’t need a name
Gonna make us one again, Bayou hurricane
Pappa’s drunk, he’s laying out by the tool shed
Three days of drinking since he stumbled back from town
And I’m here alone to see that we all don’t drown
But I’m only twenty one
And my father’s only son
Bayou hurricane, things won’t be the same
Gonna wash away the sins, make us young again
Bayou hurricane, it don’t need a name
Gonna makе us one again, Bayou hurricane
Herе we go again, better say your amen
Gonna shake our house down to the frame
Hold on, hold on
Hold on mama, this might be the end
Give us shelter from the bayou hurricane
Protect us all from the wind that’s blowing change
I found Daisy but I never found Papa it’s a shame
And all I can say is we never laid down and died
Bayou hurricane, things won’t be the same
Gonna wash away the sins, make us young again
Bayou hurricane, it don’t need a name
Gonna make us one again, Bayou hurricane
Gonna make us one again, Bayou hurricane
