Second Line Lyrics


Steam rising off of the river at the break of day
Light creeping into room 218 at the Beaujolais
Left you crawling across the floor
Head ringing, your eyes so sore
Bloodshot, drowning while you down another bottle awayThe ashtray is overflowing, it's full of gray days
The devil that you knew one time may be the devil you save
Get up and find your shoes
There are some things that you just don't lose
The street's been a-creeping with the barefooting blues for daysCall me from the Second Line
Pour us up some cheap French wine
Pick up your feet, leave your blues fading to gray
Come on now cut your soul loose, the Second Line's dancing awayThere's a crowd down under the window in a big parade
They got a brass band dancing in front, oh umbrellas they wave
They gonna shake it 'til the sun come down
They just laid old Moses deep in the ground
Get yourself together, walk yourself right out of your grave

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Band of Heathens are an Americana band from Austin, Texas. The three principal songwriters - Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist - shared the bill at Momo's, an Austin club. Originally, each singer/songwriter performed his own set. However, they eventually started sharing the stage, and collaborating together with bassist Seth Whitney. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club". A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." In 2007, drummer John Chipman joined the band.
