Lyrics
BELOW SEA LEVEL
Words & Music © JGPierce (BMI)
Like lightning caught in a bottle
Twenty-four hours seven days a week
You feel yourself getting drawn in
And your heart will skip a beat
It'll fill your eyes, it'll fill your ears
It'll fill your glass twice full
Even a modern renaissance man
Can't escape its mysterious pull
Cause you've been to the summit....
And it sits Below Sea Level!
Just take a stroll down Bourbon
And let it fill up all your senses
Cause you've got all night and it feels alright
Throw the beads from the iron fences
Just listen to a little bit of Zydeco
And get your fill of Dixie beer
Once you hear the Quarter calling
You know you'll have a hard time leaving here
Cause you've been to the summit...
And it sits Below Sea Level!
Just a little bit of that Southern love
And she steals your heart away
And you'll find a way to promise her
You'll come back some other day
You think it might be different then
But it will still be just as nice
Still you carry 'round that bottle
Just in case lightning might strike twice
Cause you've been to the summit...
And it sits Below Sea Level!
Well I've been to the summit...
