Down By The Torchlight lyrics

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
