Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
Pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
The beer joints lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in
[Verse 2]
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
Feels just like stars on the water
You got stars on the water, let it rain
[Verse 3]
Beaumont to Biloxi
The sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shore
The Blue Light Lounge is shining
Way out on the view
[Verse 4]
It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water, let it rain
[Verse 5]
Alright
[Verse 6]
When it's midnight down in Mobile
Shining moonbeams on the bay
They come form miles around to dance the jukebox down
And dig the good time sounds they all play
And all across the harbor
Night lights shining on
[Verse 7]
It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Look just like stars on the water, let it rain
[Verse 8]
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
You got stars on the water, let it rain
