Breaking Like the Sun Lyrics by The Steel Wheels

Lay Down, Lay Low

0

Hold me like the river where the boat does sway
Going down south for my sugarcane
Don’t sing a note if you don’t sing true
Going to that place where the song sings you
[Chorus]
Oh, there they go again
Tell another story like I don’t speak French
Oh, there they go again
Breaking like the sun when the day comes in
Hear the fiddle double with the squeezebox now
Get into the melody but don’t sit down
Bring on the night, go get your shoes
Get your dress on honey, and make it blue
[Chorus]
Oh, there they go again
Tell another story like I don’t speak French
Oh, there they go again
Breaking like the sun when the day comes in
Go To Opelousas where the spirit moves
Ancestry is dancing; you’ve got nothing to prove
This is where you started and this is where you’ll end
Because your heart starts beating to that rhythm again
[Chorus]
I say, "Oh, there they go again
Tell another story like I don’t speak French"
Oh, there they go again
Breaking like the sun when the day comes in
Oh, there they go again
Tell another story like I don’t speak French
Oh, there they go again
Breaking like the sun when the day comes in
Oh, there they go again
Tell another story, no I don’t speak French
Oh, there they go again
Breaking like the sun when the day comes in
