Rodney Crowell Stars on the Water Lyrics

Rodney Crowell - Stars On The Water (with lead)
A = x02220 F#m = 244222
Down in Louisiana bayous by and by,
Perogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide.
Beer joint lights come on,
And then the crowd starts rollin' in.
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
You got stars on the water, let it rain
Beaumont to Biloxi,
Sea breeze at your door.
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shores.
The Blue Light lounge is shinin'
Way out on the view.
It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water, let it rain
INSTRUMENTAL
When it's midnight down in Mobile,
Shinin' moonbeams on the bay,
They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down
And dig the good time sounds they all play.
And all across the harbour,
Night lights shinin' on.
It looks just like stars on the water,
Just like stars on the water,
Feels just like stars on the water, let it rain.
Pretty soon you got stars on the water,
You got stars on the water,
You got stars on the water, let it rain.
