Creole Angel

Sonny Landreth

Bottle rocket combo
got a corner on the crowd
Under her old balcony
above a bar called The Black Cat Prowl
Sets off memories
how she laughed every time
I'd break her silence
with a piece of my mind
A callin'...

Creole Angel come on down
Pray tell are you ready now?
Dusty saint on the dashboard
Will bless the berth of my old Ford
Creole Angel Northbound
Even now I hear the sound
Of open arms like wings apart
Taking off with a jump start
Creole Angel my Creole Angel

Jump start baby

It's a jet stream of conscious
Out of body tale
Through the Natchez Trace
Like a vapor trail
We saw the steam rise
and the Mercury fall
Between New Orleans
and Old Montreal
I remember...

Creole Angel come on down
Pray tell are you ready now?
Dusty saint on the dashboard
Will bless the berth of my old Ford
Creole Angel Northbound
Even now I hear the sound
Of open arms like wings apart
Taking off with a jump start
Creole Angel my Creole Angel
