Breaking Like the Sun

Hold me like the river where the boat does sway,
Going downtown for my sugarcane,
Don’t sing a note if you don’t sing true,
Going to that place where the song sings you,
Oh, There they go again, Tell another story like I don’t speak French
Oh, There they go again, Breaking like the sun when the day comes in.
Hear the fiddle double with the squeezebox now,
Get into the melody but don’t sit down,
Bring on the night, go get your shoes,
Get your dress on honey, and make it blue
Go To Opelousas where the spirit moves,
Ancestry is dancing you’ve got nothing to prove,
This is where you started and this is where you’ll end
Because your heart starts beating to that rhythm again
