about

Written about my stay in the Baton Rouge neighborhood called, Spanishtown

lyrics

Heading south when the wind blows spring,
Got a show in Texas, then it’s on to New Orleans.
Leave my cares down on Bourbon Street,
Make some change out there with the gypsies.

Had some friends down in Baton Rouge,
Where I found some peace and solitude.
Breathing in the southern air,
Glad to be out there with the gypsies.

Chorus:
Easy livin’, in Spanishtown
Where the old Mississippi, calls me down.
Easy livin’, in Spanishtown
Where the old Mississippi, calls me down.

On to Memphis, home of the king
Dive bar and a little too much to drink.
Playin’ in Nashville, I’ll leave in the morning
But tonight, I’ll see that river in my dreams.

Music highway, just another city
On to see Mamau in Indy.
Then it’s home sweet home, took the long way to Chicago
But man if that southern trek wasn’t sweet.

Chorus:
Easy livin’ in Spanishtown,
And the old Mississippi, calls me down.
Easy livin’, in Spanishtown,
And the old Mississippi calls me down.
