Louisiana Hot Sauce Rainy Nights by The Taxpayers
[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E
Been a long, long time;
A
I have been playing things through in my mind.
C#m B
Prison equals narrative, and separation is damnation for our kind.
A E
You spent years chasing after a mess
A E
But easy livin' doesn't pay the rent.
A B
So put stakes in words and wastelands, leave the machinery for the rest.
E
E
It was a smoke-filled room in Columbus in May
A
Bottles on the ground in a desolate place, yeah.
C#m B
Baby, I must have missed you, but I can't remember feeling all that sad.
A E
I must have hit every bar in that town.
A E
I must have made a damn fool of myself.
A B
I woke up more than once on the sidewalk that year.
[Chorus]
E C#m A B
But it's not crazy to gamble away all those Louisiana Hot Sauce rainy nights.
E C#m A B
It's not crazy to take your shoes and just start walking until the sun comes up.
E C#m
Got miles to go, still miles to get there.
A B
Maybe it'll be this car that makes it.
E C#m A B
But I am not an unconditional believer.
E
[Verse]
E
I got more pockets than pennies these days
A
And I keep coming up with reasons to leave this place.
C#m B
It's like honey spilled on the table: an invitation for another pest.
A E
But I got more space to fill.
A E
A few more breaths to breathe in.
A B
Something other than more time to sleep.
[Chorus]
E C#m A B
But it's not crazy to gamble away all those Louisiana Hot Sauce rainy nights.
E C#m A B
It's not crazy to take your shoes and just start walking until the sun comes up.
E C#m
Got miles to go, still miles to get there.
A B
Maybe it'll be this car that makes it.
E C#m A B
But I am not an unconditional believer.
E
