BORN IN A BISCAYNE ?‚ SPENCER BOHREN/Michael Carson, 1984
I was born in a Biscayne, back in `55.
Mama was a sweet thing, kept the boy alive.
Kept her boy alive! Kept her boy alive!
Mama always told me, `Never be afraid.
`Keep looking forward `til you`re in the grave.
`Don`t let no one turn you `round.
`Never let nothin` get you down.`
I was born in a Biscayne, back in `55.
Baby sister told me, `You are out of your mind.
`Got to find Jesus while you still got time.`
I said, `Baby sister, that cannot be.
`Can`t find Jesus. He gonna have to find me.`
By the side of the road down in Terrebonne Parish
I was born in a black Chevrolet.
The wind was howling and the dogs was growling
And it looked like it`s gonna rain.
From deep in the swamp stepped a dark-haired woman
Come to take a look at me.
Spoke three words, Lord, I don`t know what they were,
And today it`s still a mystery.
I was born in a black Biscayne Chevrolet.
I was born in a Tudor Biscayne Chevrolet.
I was born in a `54 Biscayne Chevrolet.
I was born in a black, tudor, `54 Biscayne Chevrolet.
I was born in a Biscayne.
