Drove to Louisiana late last night
deep into the Bayou in the moonlight
She was standing there

waiting for me in the Willows

Alligators in the water

and voodoo in the air
man I'll admit
I was a little scared

but her ghostly blue eyes kept drawing me in

There's things that happen to you deep in the swamp

that can play with your mind and make your little heart jump
make ya see things you ain't never seen before
make you run scared shake ya down to the core

like a dark black Raven in a Cypress tree
in the dead of the night just a lookin' at me
makes you wonder if he's got it out for you

cause your heart starts pumping and your hands go blue
but this woman said she could make me a star
by drinking what she had in her Mason Jar


Now I usually don't give into superstition
I'm reality based with only one mission

but she told me this drink had powers beyond
anything that I knew anything I could want
drink it up she said you'll be a superstar

old Hank'll be proud and you're gonna go far
sing to 20,000 people each night
like it's perfectly normal to feel this high

drink it up ole boy you know you want to
this potion was made especially for you but I
put the jar down and walked away


There's things that happen to you deep in the swamp
that can play with your mind and make your little heart jump

make ya see things you ain't never seen before
make you run scared shake ya down to the core
like a dark black Raven in a Cypress tree

in the dead of the night just a lookin' at me
makes you wonder if he's got it out for you
cause your heart starts pumping and your hands go blue

but this woman said she could make me a star
by drinking what she had in her Mason Jar


Drove from Louisiana late last night
coming from the Bayou in the moonlight
when I turned around she disappeared

in the Willows
