Where the Crawdads Go

Verse 1

Screen door groaning at the midnight hour

Humidity sittin' on the honeysuckle sweet

Fireflies blinking in the fallen hour

I got gravel in my boots and mud on my feet

Pre-Chorus

And the radio's hummin' some old lowdown tune

I can feel it rollin' under my skin like the moon

Chorus

Warm summer nights carry me slow

Down to the river where the crawdads go

Got my whole life scattered on the windowsill

Warm summer nights and a Memphis still

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh those summer nights

Oh-oh-oh hold me right

Verse 2

Whiskey bottle catchin' the porch light

Guitar hanging gentle on the wall

Every hummingbird gone by the twilight

I can hear the cicadas call

Pre-Chorus

And that old river's singin' a blues I know true

It's a worn-out heart that pulls me through

Chorus

Warm summer nights carry me slow

Down to the river where the crawdads go

Got my whole life scattered on the windowsill

Warm summer nights and a Memphis still

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh those summer nights

Oh-oh-oh hold me right

Bridge

Dust in the morning light

Shades on the moon

I'll be talkin' to the stars tonight

'Til the morning comes too soon

Chorus

Warm summer nights carry me slow

Down to the river where the crawdads go

Got my whole life scattered on the windowsill

Warm summer nights and a Memphis still

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh those summer nights

Oh-oh-oh hold me right
