Louise Lyrics by Mipso

Dark Holler Pop

2013

Me and Louise never had much luck
Just a couple of kids with a lot of love
Laid our fortunes on her daddy's old farm
Didn't see how dirt could do such harm
Seasons came and the seasons left
The only thing that changed was the shape of her dress
She said: you're a good man, you'll have my child
You can't raise a living a thing on this cursëd old ground
We laid a sheet on the piano keys
Crying good lord, please, please
Packed our things into the old farm car
Wondering if it could take us very far

And I said
[Chorus]
Everything about it takes a little luck
Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck
It doesn't come with any guarantees
But there's gas in the tank, Louise

Out here on the borderline the sun sets low
Like a couple of jackrabbits dancing in the morning snow
Knew we'd make it, if we could just get out
The only thing we saw was love and south
Miles came and the miles went
Our hearts full - our money spent
Somewhere outside El Paso my Louise cried out
She took my arm - said, "It's time now"
I prayed and waited all night
Oh Louise, please, please
I heard a new voice with the new day
I thought back to what her Daddy used to say

And he said
[Chorus]
Everything about it takes a little luck
Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck
It doesn't come with any guarantees
But there's gas in the tank, Louise
[Bridge, instrumental]

Then me and Louise didn't go too far
We named our boy for Louise's pa
Found a plot of ground we could call our own
We built a house - we built a home

And we said
[Chorus]
Everything about it takes a little luck
Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck
It doesn't come with any guarantees
But there's gas in the tank
There's gas in the tank
Yeah, there's gas in the tank
Louise
