Lyrics
verse 1
I was born beside the Bayou,
Mama called me Terry Bone,
I saw stars above the water,
Somewhere in the west, beating in my chest, Something better than my own.
VERSE 2
I thought love was just Ovation,
I escaped from Honalee,
Set my sails south of salvation,
My broken Bonneville, couldn’t make it up that hill, Detoured highway destiny.
CHORUS 1
Somewhere between Comfort and Welfare,
I lost my way to the sun,
Somewhere between Houma and Paradise,
I hung my vanity, from the nearest cedar tree, Traded grace for sweet reality
CHORUS 2
Somewhere between Comfort and Welfare,
I turned a right from the wrong,
Somewhere between Houma and Paradise,
I crashed the caravan, I joined this contraband, Learn the chords and you can play along.
VERSE 3
I was always disconnected,
Gave up Holly Beach for Hollywood,
But all my dreams got resurrected,
In a place I never knew, dancing with a boy or two, Never made the grade but made it good.
CHORUS 3
Somewhere between Comfort and Welfare,
I found my place in the sun,
Somewhere between Houma and Paradise,
I made my final stand,
I found the promised land,
I lived the life that that lay within my hands,
I lived the life that lay within my hands.
