jason boland & the stragglers - bienville lyrics
[verse 1]
north through oklahoma to visit the folks
east across 40, already half full
memphis in the daytime is hotter than h-ll
bound for new orleans and the bienville hotel
[verse 2]
down through the delta, the dockery farms
saw the devil in the moonlight spinnin’ a yarn
the night down in yazoo we both rested well
dreamin’ ’bout crawfish and the bienville hotel
[chorus]
all of my life, i prayed i would find
another lost soul with a travelin’ mind
the years spent wishin’ left me ill-prepared
for the bienville hotel and the time that we shared
[verse 3]
the old crescent city buzzed like a sign
full of the faithful, sunlight, and wine
but the moment we laid eyes, our hearts gently fell
we checked in and [?] to the bienville hotel
[chorus]
all of my life, i prayed i would find
another lost soul with a travelin’ mind
the years spent wishin’ left me ill-prepared
for the bienville hotel and the time that we shared
[verse 4]
ever the rebels, [oppress your luck teen?]
we dropped our last twenty into a dollar machine
when the wheels stopped rollin’ there were no ringin’ bells
back to the showers at the bienville hotel
[chorus]
all of my life, i prayed i would find
another lost soul with a travelin’ mind
the years spent wishin’ left me ill-prepared
for the bienville hotel and the time that we shared
[outro]
as we grow old together, one story i’ll tell
is how we got back home from the bienville hotel
