I went down to the river
with a lonesome sparrow egg
i buried it beside the water
prayed to raise the dead
well the sand it was shaking
so was the moon
the stars ran and hid
then came the kaaboom
She got them strange lullabies
red wings and a knife
when she opened up her eyes
I just knew she was my wife  

CHORUS
her name is Louisiana Overdrive
stand aside while she comes alive 
she don't need no ticket to ride
Ms. Louisiana OverDrive

she got them black ink tattoos
she's a mystics rhyme
her wisdom is taboo
and her body so divine
she sounded the bell 
in my soul
she hit it with a diamond mallet
and her hair is gold

her name is Louisiana Overdrive
stand aside while she comes alive 
she don't need no ticket to ride

Ms. Louisiana OverDrive (3x) 

Beatrice would be jealous 
for the odyssey i endured 
I had to walk on water just to prove
I was mature
she's a phoenix from cigarette ashes 
she's a river from a drop
she's a mountain under the seas
she's the laughter that can not stop

Ms Louisiana Overdrive (6x)
