Rodney Crowell
Stars on the Water
[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana
Bayous by and by
Pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree, high tide
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in
[Chorus]
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
It's like stars on the water
Let it rain
[Verse 2]
Beaumont to Biloxi
Sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shore
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Blue Light Lounge is shinin'
Way out on the view
[Chorus]
It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Let it rain
[Verse 3]
When it's midnight down in Mobile
Moonbeams on the bay
They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down
And dig the good time sounds they play
[Pre-Chorus 3]
All across the harbor
Night lights shinin' in
[Chorus]
It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Let it rain
[Chorus]
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
It's like stars on the water
Let it rain
