amos lee - bus to baton rouge lyrics

[verse 1]
i had to go back to that house one more time
to see if the camellias were in bloom
for so many reasons, it’s been on my mind
the house on belmont avenue
built up on cinderblocks off of the ground
with the rain and the soft swampy land
by the sweet honeysuckle that grew all around
were switches when we were bad

[chorus]
i took a bus to baton rouge
i took a bus to baton rouge

[verse 2]
all the front rooms were kept closed off
i never liked to go in there much
sometimes the doors, they’d be locked
’cause there were precious things that i couldn’t touch
the company couch covered in plastic
books about being saved
the dining room table n0body ate at
the piano that n0body played

[chorus]
i took a bus to baton rouge
i took a bus to baton rouge
i took a bus to baton rouge
see amos lee live
get tickets as low as $26
[verse 3]
there was a beautiful lamp i always loved
a seashore was painted on the shade
it would turn around when you switched on the bulb
and gently rock the waves
the driveway was covered with tiny white sh+lls
a fig tree stood in the backyard
there are other things i remember as well
but to tell them would just be too hard
ghosts in the wind that blow through my life
follow me wherever i go
i’ll never be free from these chains inside
hidden deep down in my soul

[chorus]
i took a bus to baton rouge
i took a bus to baton rouge
i took a bus to baton rouge
