St. Louis

(álbum: Bootheel 2021 - 2021)

I can hear the crowd
The sea of red
My favorite shirt
Willie was my favorite
Bought a souvenir
A few too many beers
Whispered "I love you"
As fire-works filled the sky

When I think about St. Louis
I can't help but think of you
There's just something about this city
Whenever I come passing through
I can't help but reminisce
If I had known it be our last kiss
Oh, I wouldn't ever left, left you in the St. Louis

I got the call
Out on the road
Somewhere out west
Oh, I never can remember
You were holding on
No, I couldn't sleep
I just held the phone
And took the first flight out that morning

When I think about St. Louis
I can't help but think of you
There's just something about this city
Whenever I come passing through
I can't help but reminisce
If I had known it be our last kiss
Oh, I wouldn't ever left
Left you in the St. Louis

Somewhere over Kansas
I looked across the sky
I knew you'd left for heaven
Felt you say "Goodbye"

When I think about St. Louis
I can't help but think of you
There's just something about this city
Whenever I come passing through
I can't help but reminisce
If I had known it be our last kiss
No, I wouldn't ever left
Never left you in the St. Louis

In St. Louis
