Swampin' on down atchafalaya way
A man can get lost, he'll be gone for days
Well, I can get lost
Just a-sittin' here dreamin' 'bout home, mmm...
Well, last time I was down there, I was stoned so deep
Oh, jack, he got busted and I watched him bleed
The law's so out of order
And they'll beat you right down to the bone, mmm, yeah
I wanna hear it rain
In the dead of the night
I wanna feel the strange
Down by the torchlight
My sister got married, makes a damn good wife
He beats her when he drinks, now it's her way of life
There's no room left in the trailer
But there's one on the way, mm-hmm
When I look back, now I don't understand
How the times can pass by when your so out of hand
All my friends are all left in the jungle just wastin' away
I wanna hear it rain
In the dead of the night
I wanna feel the strange
Down by the torchlight
Raise the baptized with a mock of an old rhyme
Stories untold down by the torchlight
I wanna hear it rain
In the dead of the night
I wanna feel the strange
Down by the torchlight
Down by the torchlight
By the torchlight
Down, down, down by the torchlight
Down, down, down by the torchlight
