A Good Year

Baby, let's drive south for the season

and stay 'til this weather breaks

while it's warm enough to bait a hook

but too cold for snakes

get some po' boys on a paper plates

get some Mardi Gras in our ears

we can sleep on the deck of a river boat

the Big Dipper for a chandelier

o yeah, it's gonna be a good year

It was the last song of the first set

when the singer tore off her wig

she only stood about four foot tall

but I'd never seen a woman so big

she said 'laissez le bon temps roulet

Lord, somebody buy me a beer

a Heineken with a straw if you please

so my lipstick won't smear

o yeah, it's gonna be a good year

I don't wanna forget I just wanna move on

shake off this dream and find you standing in the light of dawn

'cause it's a good year for waking up

and making up for a little lost time

I don't wanna forget I just wanna move on

shake off this dream and find you standing by the light of dawn

'cause it's a good year for waking up

and making up for a little lost time

it's a good year to leave last year behind
