I Went to the Levee Lyrics by Sabine McCalla

folk

0

I went to the levee, I was gonna meet my man
A little boy stopped me with a gun in his hand
I thought I had a date but I guess it changed plans
I'm crying for my baby
Tell me have you seen my man?
At minutes past midnight
I’m running toward the moon with the little boy behind me
We're running towards the end of the world
It's behind me, I got no plan
Why can’t a woman enjoy the night like a goddamn man?
Ooh ooh ooh
It's a terrible feeling
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To wonder what a life he's leading
Ooh ooh ooh
It's a terrible feeling
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To wonder what it's like to be him
I wake to the sunrise, I can't bеlieve my eyеs
My man is right beside me with blood spattered arms and thighs
He's crying for his baby, his daughter just died
He's crying for himself with a gun at his side
Ooh ooh ooh
It’s a terrible feeling
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To wonder what a life he’s leading
Ooh ooh ooh
It's a terrible feeling
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To wonder what it’s like to be him
How I teach my man the result of a mistake?
How do I stop a child from coming to this fate?
Who turned the river to make a Crescent City state?
How's the moon reflected by this goddamn weight?
Ooh ooh ooh
It's a terrible feeling
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To wonder what a life we're leading
Ooh ooh ooh
It’s a terrible feeling
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To wonder what a life we're leading
