Everybody's had a few Now they're talking about who knows who I'm going back to the Crescent City Where everything's still the same This town has said what it has to say Now I'm after that back highway And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain Tu le ton temps that's what we say We used to dance the night away Me and my sister me and my brother We used to walk down by the river Mama lives in Mandeville I can hardly wait until I can hear my Zydeco and laissez le bon ton roulet And take rides in open cars My brother knows where the best bars are Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay Tu le ton temps that's all we say We used to dance the night away Me and my sister me and my brother We used to walk down by the river
I discovered Lucinda Williams in earnest earlier in the year through one of my wifes CDs. This CD has been in my car since March when there were some issues in our lives. Crescent City was a real pick-me-up at the time because it was very upbeat and a good singalong song in the car. She put a slightly different slant and that this is not just a city that loves to party. Crescent City bacame my favorite song on the CD which features many good songs.
I know it will take a lot of work and probably several years but I hope this once again becomes a town "where the good times stay."
