Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 She wakes up with the river in her bones Mud on her dreams, whiskey in her throat Spanish moss hanging off her name Every prayer she ever whispered came back in pain Old screen door crying in the heat Cicadas singing like they know her grief Mama said, “Girl, don’t trust the night” But the night’s the only thing that holds her tight Chorus She’s got bayou blood in her veins Hurricane love and permanent rain She bends but she don’t break—Lord, she tries Still bleeds every time she survives Yeah, she dances with the devil just to feel alive That woman’s pain got a Louisiana rhyme Verse 2 She loved a man with a rattlesnake smile Promised her heaven, stayed a while Left her a scar and an empty bed And a jukebox full of things he never said High heels sinking in delta clay Church bells ringing but she won’t pray She sings the blues like a confession booth Every note cuts closer to the truth Chorus She’s got bayou blood in her veins Born of fire, baptized in rain She bends but she don’t break—Lord, she cries Still bleeds every time she survives Yeah, she drinks to remember, smokes to forget That woman’s pain ain’t done with her yet Bridge Slide guitar weeping like a second line Funeral march for another piece of her mind But there’s power in the way she hurts Pain taught her how to work the dirt Verse 3 Now she stands where the cypress grow Eyes like storms you don’t outrun slow If you hear her voice in the dark of night That ain’t weakness, baby—that’s fight Final Chorus She’s got bayou blood in her veins Still standing in the middle of the rain She bends but she don’t break—watch her rise Turns her wounds into battle cries Yeah, she sings for the lost, the broke, the brave That woman’s pain carved a soul this deep and wild Outro River keep rolling, let her name be known Queen of the blues with a heart of stone Louisiana made her—hurt and whole Pain wrote the gospel of her soul
