Tail Down the Canal

[Intro]
Yeah
We out here
Way out
Down that line (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Got the cooler in the back, old strings in my hand
Dust kickin’ off the tires, rollin' outta dry land
Fifteen miles of water, straight shot to the camp
Sun sittin’ on my shoulder like a busted streetlamp
Salt on my hat brim, sweat in my eyes
Buddy in the front seat talkin’ big fish lies
"Hit the throttle, let it talk, boy, we chasin’ that dark"
Cypress leanin' in close like they listen to the spark
[Chorus]
Tail down the canal, let it slide, let it slide
Bayou on my left, good folks on my right
We catfish huntin’, you eat what you catch
Grease poppin’ at the camp, got the flavor to match
Tail down the canal, let it ride, let it ride
Laughs get loud when the day meets the night
From the first cast splash to the last flame’s glow
Louisiana in my blood, that’s the only way I know (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Hit the dock, tie it off, moths dancin’ in the beam
Granddad taught me every hook, passed down in the stream
Chicken liver in the bucket, line heavy with weight
Drop it low, feel a tug—"Boy, that's dinner, don’t wait"
Mud on my boots, camp stove on
Somebody hummin’ that old front porch song
Grease sizzle like applause when the fillets touch
Say a blessing ‘fore we blessin’ every plate too much
[Chorus]
Tail down the canal, let it slide, let it slide
Bayou on my left, good folks on my right
We catfish huntin’, you eat what you catch
Grease poppin’ at the camp, got the flavor to match
Tail down the canal, let it ride, let it ride
Laughs get loud when the day meets the night
From the first cast splash to the last flame’s glow
Louisiana in my blood, that’s the only way I know (woo)
[Bridge]
Hot sauce drippin’, fingers lickin’, talkin’ big
Mosquitoes buzzin', but they part of how we live
You can keep your city lights and high-rise plans
I’d rather chase a wake with this river in my hands (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Tail down the canal, let it slide, let it slide
Bayou on my left, good folks on my right
We catfish huntin’, you eat what you catch
Grease poppin’ at the camp, got the flavor to match
Tail down the canal, let it ride, let it ride
Laughs get loud when the day meets the night
From the first cast splash to the last flame’s glow
Louisiana in my blood, that’s the only way I know (tail down)
Louisiana in my blood, that’s the only way I know

rap, Bounce-heavy rap-pop crossover with swaggering male vocals, springy bass and crisp claps. Verses ride a swung southern groove with twangy electric guitar licks tucked behind 808-style low end; hook opens with stacked chant vocals and bright synth stabs. Second half adds call-and-response ad-libs and a half-time breakdown on the last chorus for a big, festival-ready singalong., pop
