St Annes Parade

Intro: verse 1 By the looks of everyone it’s been a long two weeks Coming up on the business end of a goodluck streak Gave ‘em hell in New York City, headed down to New Orleans Drove across Mississippi in the rain It don’t seem to freeze too much down in New Orleans But the rain can sure wash out the street Across the snowline, man it was just in time They diggin ‘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 verse 2 They cancelled a parade or two for weather The kings and saints their roads all soaking wet We were happy just to all be there together Stoned on the porch smoking on Nicky’s cigarettes And we’ve 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 is remembered in the end It is a debt that is a pleasure to repay And it never feels like we’re getting any older But the memories build up around the eyes And I need more fingers then I got on my two hands This life may be too good to survive Bridge We were dressed to celebrate your wedding day We marched along with the St. Anne’s Parade Sang out our hearts while they sent away their 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 remmeber 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 Outro
