Louisiana Sky

(album: Our Country: Americana Act II - 2018)

Last night I dreamed a song, it was a haunting lullaby
Sent down from the heavens through that Louisiana sky
Then as night turned into day
All the hate and anger seemed to just drift away

I thought there must be something up above to send a guiding light
Down here from the heavens through that Louisiana sky

The sounds of the freight trains were the first thing to strike me,
As though the trains were accompanying me on this journey.
The songs were coming, but it was the haunted quality of the place itself that affected me most.
It was a friendly place but there were a lot of lost souls down here,
And perhaps I was just another one of them.
Who was I? And where was I going?
I bought a big chief notepad at Win Dixie and I took a streetcar named desire.
But where was it taking me?
Perhaps to those haunted places.
