lyrics

Swamp people at a county fair
You and me are gonna go downtown
Quit breathing in this fetid air
Get a little drunk and fool around

Do you remember when you told me
The dream you had when you were 14
The falling rain and rising sea
Everything washed clean and you were free

It's true your mom's a little love impaired
And your daddy didn't hang around
It must be something in the Florida air
Or the thing that we don't talk about

Do you remember when you told me
The dream you had when you were 15
The falling rain the boiling sea
Everything burned clean and you were free

Baby we were dealt a dismal hand
But you and me are gonna sort it out
My cousin said he found a van
We could fix it up and leave the South

I remember when you told me
The dream you had when you were 13
The zinnias, the hawthorn trees
That you had been born clean and you were free

Swamp people at a county fair
