When storm clouds come through, I think of days past with you. Picking me up from school, Cruising down Lakefront Avenue. When summertime was everyday, And stolen kisses are what I paid, To a god whose voice only ever said, "Live hard and don't let the high fade."

They found me in the penthouse suite Velvet carpets and champagne sweet With the water running With a cigarette burning With my hand on the phone With the party still going on The last time anyone Saw the Dutchess of the Monteleone.

Sneaking into sunrise gardens Walking under bridges in darkness Banana leaves lending shade Oak trees leaning on Bamboo Lane Take me down to Palmetto Dance through the Hollygrove Drive under Fountainbleu skies Kiss me like Mississippi tides Magnolia breezes and blooms Honeysuckle flower perfume Spanish moss swaying in the window While I sit and sing the saddest song I know

Your hero's locked up And your girl's in a grave Sweet boy, why do you pay the price For all the love you gave?

Oh honey, everything will be alright As soon as I get to that state line Daddy tried, Mama cried, Baby's got a bad streak Half a mile wide. It ain't so bad if you're looking at it right It ain't so easy if you're looking for a fight I'm too good at burning bridges I'm too good at sneaking through the night But this is my love All bent and deranged love I'm ready to go Follow you onto the road Away from my home And all I've ever known.
