Crescent City Tides Lyrics

Muddy waters form from delta's unforgivin' flow

Unfamiliar terrain, I'm left to watch them go

I see they've packed their bags and my feelin's surge

My offspring depart, oh, it's a natural urge

Crescent City tides, they roll with life's demands

Syncopated waves and time's shifting sands

Crescent City tides, they question my place

Am I driftwood or do my limbs root in grace?

Crescent City tides Baton Rouge to delta's bend

I've messed up for sure, and they tell me where and when

I sat at cafes and listened as they grew

Spices and stories, now a past askew

Balancin' each step, we face the unknown

We each have a path but we're not alone

Crescent City tides, they roll with life's demands

Syncopated waves and time's shifting sands

Crescent City tides, they question my place

Am I driftwood or do my limbs root in grace?

Crescent City tides Baton Rouge to delta's bend

I've messed up for sure, and they tell me where and when

Riverbanks strong, enduring the years

Crescent City's voice, no goodbyes, no tears

Crescent City tides, they roll with life's demands

Syncopated waves and time's shifting sands

Crescent City tides, they question my place

Am I driftwood or do my limbs root in grace?

Crescent City tides Baton Rouge to delta's bend

I've messed up for sure, and they tell me where and when

I'll go and visit with my name on the marquee

I practice patience in a family ripped at the seams

Muddy waters form from delta's unforgivin' flow
