Lyrics
Wading in the water, over my head.
A Baton Rouge booty, feeding into my veins.
She scrapes the surface slowly, invigorating charm.
My teeth begin to grind as she takes me by the arm.
This will be the first time, I lay my head on the banks of a riverbed
Kisses in the morning, I'm gonna butter your bread, with dandelion.
This will be the first time, I lay my head on the banks of a riverbed
Maybe in the morning, we'll lay down on dandelion.
The Mississippi honeydew, couldn't you spare a few?
You lead I'll take your cue, down by the bayou
The Mississippi honeydew, couldn't you spare a few?
You lead I'll take your cue, down by the bayou
This will be the first time, I lay my head on the banks of a riverbed
Kisses in the morning, I'm gonna butter your bread, with dandelion.
This will be the first time, I lay my head on the banks of a riverbed
Maybe in the morning, we'll lay down on dandelion.
Is it hard to be on your own, when your heart isn't made of stone, you're going home
Is it hard to be on your own, when your heart isn't made of stone, you're going home
