Ground Songtext
von John Louis

In Metarie and Covington
Ones I love lay in the ground
Gonna visit them again
Leave this droning plain

You sang your songs for everyone
Told me as the light grew dim
You′d go with me to Metarie
Sing songs make stories


Tornados raged through Illinois
Memphis was the turning point
But New Orleans was something else
Resonated in our deeper selves

Dixie Beer and Early Times
Heat and sweat and reading signs
Twenty-four miles 'cross the causeway
Saturday or someday

In Metarie and Covington
Planted something in the ground
Time to go back there again
Leave this frozen plane behind
