Lyrics
Katie had plans but there ain’t no chance In the bayou Turned eighteen and that’s six months clean In the bayou Government came to take them away From the bayou Said, “the one's that stay will be washed to their graves With the bayou.” So won't you tell me I'm lost when I lie to you Tell me good thoughts are gonna carry us through And I’ll tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna fight the fire Take it higher Sing it till they bring it down to the wire Shake it off and go start anew Katie left home, and made the trek all alone From the bayou Says, “Houston's cold to the summers that we know In the bayou.” But her old man drinks and at night she still thinks Of the bayou Yeah the city's got saved, but they never made the grade In the bayou So won't you tell me I'm lost when I lie to you Tell me good thoughts are gonna carry us through And I’ll tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna fight the fire Take it higher Sing it till they bring it down to the wire Shake it off and go start anew Yeah, shake it and go start anew Shake it off and go start anew
