Baby Center Stage

Mama called you baby center stage She could really run her mouth Baton Rouge called you petit ange And Birmingham could run you out Doesn’t anybody see how scared you are There was a time I was running you down But the world kept spinning round Doesn’t anybody see how scared you are There was a time when you were running to me But the lightning spared the tall tree When your moon lights up the riverside Making mud and bad blood You can call me anytime For all it’s worth Louisiana’s still not enough In your restless days I got lost I got saved In your restless nights I swam blind Somehow falling into the light Doesn’t anybody see how scared you are There was a time I was running you down But the world kept spinning round Doesn’t anybody see how scared you are There was a time you were running to me But the hurricane had mercy In your restless days All that wind all those waves In your restless nights We closed our eyes Killed each other and came to life In your restless days I made my bed I dug my grave In your restless nights We both swam blind Somehow falling into the light
