Bus To Baton Rouge - Lucinda Williams (露辛达·威廉斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Lucinda Williams[00:00:01]
I had to go back to that house one more time[00:00:13]
To see if Camellias were in bloom[00:00:21]
So many reasons it's been on my mind[00:00:29]
The house on Belmont Avenue[00:00:37]
Built up on cinderblocks off of the ground[00:00:45]
What with the rain and the soft swampy land[00:00:52]
By the sweet honeysuckle that grew all around[00:01:00]
Were switches when we were bad[00:01:08]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:01:15]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:01:23]
All the front rooms were kept closed off[00:01:47]
I never liked to go in there much[00:01:55]
Sometimes the doors they'd be locked[00:02:03]
'Cause there were precious things[00:02:10]
That I couldn't touch[00:02:13]
The company couch covered in plastic[00:02:18]
Little books about being saved[00:02:26]
The dining room table nobody ate at[00:02:34]
And the piano nobody played[00:02:42]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:02:49]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:02:57]
There was this beautiful lamp I always loved[00:03:20]
A seashore was painted on the shade[00:03:29]
It would turn around when you switched on the bulb[00:03:36]
And gently rock the waves[00:03:44]
The driveway was covered with tiny white seashells[00:03:52]
A fig tree stood in the backyard[00:04:00]
There are other things I remember as well[00:04:07]
But to tell them would be just be too hard[00:04:15]
Ghosts in the wind that blow through my life[00:04:23]
Follow me wherever I go[00:04:31]
I'll never be free from these chains inside[00:04:38]
Hidden deep down in my soul[00:04:47]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:04:53]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:05:01]
I took a bus to Baton Rougeetc[00:05:09]
