Pirates of the Mississippi



Feed Jake
Pirates of the Mississippi
I'm standing at the crossroads in life
And I don't know where to go
You know you've got my heart babe
But my music's got my soul
Let me play it one more time
I'll tell the truth
And make it rhyme
And hope they understand me

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend
Right through it all
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake

Now Broadway's like a sewer
Bums and hookers everywhere
Wino passed out on the sidewalk
Doesn't anybody care
Some say he's worthless
Just let 'em be
But I for one would have to disagree
And so would their mamas

Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend
Right through it all
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake

Now if you get an ear pierced
Some will call you gay
But if you drive a pick-up
They’ll say
No
You must be straight
What we are
And what we ain't
What we can
And what we can't
Does it really matter

Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend
Right through it all
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake
If I die before I wake
Feed Jake

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! They made a minor splash on the country scene in the 90s. If you didn't listen to this song, I do believe that you will be very glad that you did after you do.

Since the Blogger spam filter has been found sorely lacking lately, I will start moderating comments. Be assured that I am only interested in deleting spam. So, if you feel a need to take me to task over something—even anonymously, go ahead and let 'er rip, and I will publish it as soon as I can.
