Pirogue tied to the leanin' cypress
Dog on the porch just dreams
Steam from the pot, sweat on my collar
Red sky splits at the seams
This that bayou slow burn
Where the water runs thick
Roots turn
We don't hurry
We just learn
How the night hums
How the tides churn
Bayou slow burn
Bare feet dancin' in the dark ferns
Every shadow got a story to confirm
Livin' out a bayou slow burn
Radio hissin' from the kitchen
Two-step ghost in the hall
Cousin got a card game goin'
Laugh too loud, wake y'all
Gators blink like dropped sunglasses
Eyes on fire by the bank
We pass jars under Spanish moss
Sip courage
Don't say thanks
This that bayou slow burn
Where the water runs thick
Roots turn
We don't hurry
We just learn
How the night hums
How the tides churn
Bayou slow burn
Bare feet dancin' in the dark ferns
Every shadow got a story to confirm
Livin' out a bayou slow burn
Storm clouds stack like dirty dishes
Sky crumbles low then sings
We kiss quick underneath the awning
Rain beats time on everything
This that bayou slow burn
Where the water runs thick
Roots turn
We don't hurry
We just learn
How the night hums
How the tides churn
Bayou slow burn
Bare feet dancin' in the dark ferns
Every shadow got a story to confirm
Livin' out a bayou slow burn
