lyrics

Richie now we really done it
We got out and now were far from it
Far enough from home to find out what it is we got
Burning down inside our guts
Whatever we had there wasn’t enough
Now we’re waiting in New Orleans for a boat that’ll never dock

A boat bound for Argentina
Sounded pretty like a ballerina
But ballerinas spin and drop just like the clouds back home
We didn’t bother to check the route
Walked in to buy a ticket they sent us back out
Said you're just waiting in New Orleans for a boat that’ll never show

Now of course we’ll make it down south eventually
And we won’t make a dime and after six months you’ll leave
I’ll stick around a little longer and I’ll find work with Texas Jack
And the world will know my name when I come back

Richie remember how we said
We gotta get out before we get dead
The only land left for us is calling out in spanish
well Richie whatever it is
that brought us down to the water like this
is waiting in N'Orleans on a boat we can't let vanish

Richie if we make it south eventually
I promise I'll find it even if you have to leave
I promise I'll find some road or trail or track
I promise that they're gonna know our names when I get back

Well that boat of Texas jack’s went all around the world
They put a rope in my hands and I just twirled and twirled
I lost my ticket back in a game of cards
Trouble goes up farther from home you are
But then Richie I met this gypsy lady
Gave me a handkerchief said when i was ready
To give it to the girl who takes my heart
So i tied it round my neck
And i wear it all around
While i save back up
Til i hear the sound
Of em loading up the boat
Of em setting up the mast
Of us getting back home
Richie i hope i find her fast

Beau Jennings Norman, Oklahoma

After years in Brooklyn fronting americana rock band Cheyenne, singer and songwriter Beau Jennings was in search of a new backing band upon returning to his home in Oklahoma. The Tigers – based out of Norman and a wrecking crew of some of the best musicians in the state – were already known as the go-to backing band for songwriters from the area and were a perfect match for Jennings’ new songs. ... more
