Clear as the Driven Snow

Patrick simmons

Playin’ easy somewhere, shade across my mind
Thoughts that pass I cannot catch, I reach for you and find
That I have learned how not to get burned now
Wind in the tree blows, even the sea knows
That I have learned how, think I can see now
Lookin’ through dreams is not what it seems

They handed me the bottle and said drink it ’til it’s gone
But now that it’s half empty I’m not sure I can go on
Thought I had learned how not to get burned now
Wind in the tree blows, even the sea knows
That I have learned how, think I can see now
Lookin’ through dreams...

I keep rollin’, I keep rollin’
I keep rollin’ and I can’t stop
Rollin’ and I can’t stop
It’s drivin’ me out of my mind
To the truck stop, to the plane hop
To the boat dock and I’m so close
Boat dock and I’m so close
Give me a little more time

Spin me around, turn my head down
Take me down slow, don’t let me go
Spin me around, turn my head down
Take me down slow, don’t let me go
Gonna quit you, gonna quit you
Gonna quit you, pretty mama
Quit you, hey mama
You know that I ain’t got time
Get behind me, get behind me
Get behind me, now bad times
Oh, bad times
There’s nothin’ in there you can hide
Spin me around, turn my head down
Take me down slow, don’t let me go
Spin me around, turn my head down
Take me down slow, don’t let...

Black Water

Patrick simmons

Well, I built me a raft and she’s ready for floatin’
Ol’ mississippi, she’s callin’ my name
Catfish are jumpin’
That paddle wheel thumpin’
Black water keeps rollin’ on past just the same

Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Yeah, keep on shinin’ your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain’t got no worries
’cause I ain’t in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don’t care
Don’t make no difference to me
Just take that street car thats goin’ up town
Yeah, I’d like to hear some funky dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I’ll be buyin’ ev’rybody drinks all ’roun’

Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Yeah, keep on shinin’ your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain’t got no worries
’cause I ain’t in no hurry at all

I’d like to hear some funky dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
With you all night long
