St. Anne's Parade

歌詞

By the looks of everyone, it's been a long two weeks Coming up on the business end of the good love street Gave 'em hell in New York City, headed down to New Orleans And drove across Mississippi in the rain It don't seem to freeze to much down in New Orleans But the rain sure can wash out the street We crossed the snow line, man it was just in time Then digging 'em out everywhere north of the Chesapeake And I'm up too damn early in the morning Watching the world around me come alive And I need more fingers to count the ones I love This life may be too good to survive They cancelled the parade at 2 for the weather The kings and saints, their robes all soaking wet But we were happy just to all be there together Stoned on the porch, smoking all Nicki's cigarettes We been riding down this highway now for all these years Breathing in the dust along the way But it's the kindness of a friend that's remembered in the end It is a debt, is a pleasure to repay And it never feels like we're getting any older But the memories build up around the odds And I need more fingers than I got on my two hands This life may be too good to survive We were dressed to celebrate the wedding day We marched along the St. Anne's Parade Sang out our hearts while they sent away the dead The sun shone on the river, we begin our lives instead And I'm up too damn early in the morning I can't remember ever feeling so alive And I need more fingers to count the ones I love This life may be too good to survive This life may be too good to survive
