Slidell

I heard they cleaned the wreck outside o' Slidell Just before the dawn I heard five people got murdered By a drunk woman talkin' on her cell phone I got drunk last night in Slidell Waitin' on the clean up crew I've been on the road for fifteen days Waitin' just to get home to you Just before the dawn You hear the rooster crow Just before the dawn I'm gonna rise up Rise up slow Nighttime driving is like a dream Hallucinations rise up from the road It's lonesome at 5 am And the white line becomes your soul Just as the sun begin to rise The highway gets foggy as hell And all the musicians are sleepin' You ain't got nothin' but yourself Just before the dawn You hear the rooster crow Just before the dawn I'm gonna rise up Rise up slow I heard they cleaned up the wreck outside o' Slidell Just before I passed through I've been sittin' for five hours on this barstool Waitin' and thinkin 'bout you
