RICE BIRDS
Are we about ready, All right, Rice birds
I was thinkin' of you when the rice birds flew
When the false dawn came with morning dew
You're a thunderstorm ragin' outside my garage
You're the white shirt peekin' through my camouflage
INST: CHORDS AS VERSE
I was thinkin' o' you and I won't forget
Tail of the turtle and Bayou Tech
I cannot dance but I can hang on
To some sweet memory up in Oberlin
I was thinkin' o' you at the Mardi Grais
Fords and Chevys like I never saw
I wish you were here to dance with me
To hear this Cajun Symphony
INST: C Am C G C F C C
I was thinkin' of you at the L.A. bar
Where I got so drunk I couldn't drive my car
I was dreamin' about you with my ten ounce beer
Dreamin' sweet daydreams wishin' you were here
I was thinkin' of you with the braids in your hair
Old Houston, Texas or anywhere
I was dreamin' about you and my changin' way
I still think about you in my travelling days
I was thinkin' of you where the sunset glows
Down the Mississippi River where the gulf wind blows
I was dreamin' about you in the Fluer-De-Lys
I was wishin' you were next to me
