Sonny Landreth - Deep South lyrics

Caught wind of the legend when we were kids on the banks of the Gulf Coast About the pirate gold left hidden here way back ago Then in a rage, Hurricane Audry, she blew down the secret of the sheltering oak They found Captain Lafitte's buried treasure, yeah anything goes In the Deep South We drive close tonight to that very site on Lake Peigneur road Past the tin top shacks that shimmer with the corrugated waves from the glow Of a howling moon I'm soon to realize I must oblige Especially with the wild blue yonder that I'm seeing in your eyes I tell you, Azalea When they lay me down, child I'll still be under the spell of The sweet keep of the Deep South The Deep South Like a chef on a mission in the kitchen with seductive recipes Let the spice in my life be the magic that surrounds and entices me Like when you feed the juke box all my silver at Maison Creole Till we feel the levitation of the dance floor down in our soles I tell you, Azalea When they lay me down, child I'll still be under the spell of The sweet keep of the Deep South The Deep South Now, only our eyes can follow the trail of serpentine smoke From the bonfire under the stars for the blessing of the boats You know, a healer in the swamp said the stars guide us back and forth Like campfires burning on a steep and distant shore I tell you, Azalea When they lay me down, child I'll still be under the spell of The sweet keep of the Deep South The Deep South
