"Creole Angel" lyrics - 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
