I'll tell it like it happened it was Darius an Nolan and me,
Just a few po' boys tryin to get up out of missouri
Took 55 to lousiana stopped by the highway to eat,
They both had crawfish strictly chiken for me
Back out under thunderheads the radio the radio was southern soul
Thet interrupted clarence carter with a wierd ass local show they were saying
*CHORUS*
Come down to lake pontcahrtrain rest your soul and feed your brain that's were you will get to see everything the water can be
The rain was comin down outside like hail
It was the kind of night that makes you think the whole world is goin to hell
We got off on an exit cuz we couldnt read the map so great
Near the Chactow motel we parked to liberate
When out of the bayou came a man like the lake had a tongue
He was roght up on the glass all yellow eyed balck teeth bangin on the windshield at the top of his lungs
*CHORUS*
Crawfish till the bitter end come down to lake potchatrain wade to where th eshallows break that's were you will get to see everything the water can be
I was drivin out of there as fast as a camry could
But the interstate was flooded and I had to take the road through the woods
Bad move in retrospect the road dissapeared in the rain
And I stood on the brakes when I saw the sign LAKE PONTCAHRTRAIN
Darius was yelling that he saw somebody out in the swells he jumped out runnin and Nolan was goin as well
COME BACK! why the hell would they leave the car?
And that's when I heard it make no mistake the voices were calling them
Come down to lake pontchartrain (x4)
The crawfish were screaming the waves opened wide and horribly roaring it pulled them inside.
That's how it happened, why would I lye, there were no bodies I've got none to hide, I'm just a boy who lost his friends in the rain, and more questions just go and ask lake pontchartrain.
