[Verse 1: Deepest Baritone, Dragged]:
"Sittin’ by dat bayou, sun settin’ low,
Dey skeeter an’ fly buzzin’ roun’ my po’ ol’ fro.
Say, gon’ be mid-night ‘fore we git back down,
Town feel far as Heaven, Lawd, turn dis thing ‘round."

"O Lawd, sun’s sinkin’ low in this ol’ bayou mud,
Sky burnin’ red like it’s washed in blood.
Bugs be buzzin’, dancin’ round my weary head,
Waitin’ on a deer, but my heart’s half-dead.
Got me dreamin’ ‘bout that gator stew tonight,
Hurry, ol’ buck, ‘fore the stars take flight."

[Pre-Chorus: Sultry Bass Vocals: Voodoo Chant Layer]: 
"Hoo-ya, hoo-ya, spirits in the mire"
One voice say, “Hunt,” one say, “Pray,”
One voice whisper, “Rest come the Glory Day.”

[Hook: Slide Guitar Twang, Tribal Drums: Airy Falsettos, Call-and-Response]:
"O Lawd, O Lawd, keep me here till the moon do rise,
Bayou singin’ soft, with them firefly eyes.
If I make it back ‘fore midnight’s bell do ring,
I’ma sit by the fire, let my soul take wing.
O Lawd... let this long day end.
Mmm-hmm… long time, chile, long time...
Mmm-hmm… feet swoll’, back bent, still climb..."

[Verse 2: Rolls Like Thunder with Harmonica Howls, Falsetto Ad-Libs]:
"Got me dreamin’ ‘bout dat gator stew,
Lawd, make dat buck come steppin’ through.
Hurry yo’ hide ‘fore I lose my cheer,
Been waitin’ all day, Lawd, an’ still no deer."

"Sweat on my brow, boots stuck in the clay,
Been out here since dawn, Lawd, it’s been a day.
Thinkin’ ‘bout that gator, how it taste so fine,
But this ol’ deer’s hidin’, wastin’ all my time.
[Falsetto]: "Ohh, Lawd, hurry now!"
Want my chair by the hearth, where the stories spin,
Tellin’ tales with kin till the night cave in."

[Bridge: Swampy Breakdown, Harmonica Wail, Voodoo Chants: Sultry, Almost Sermonic]:
"Been a long… long… day,
Sun done bleed ‘way, sky done turn gray.
I’ma drop in dat chair,
Let dat ol’ game play,
Let it hum like a prayer,
Keep de Devil away."
Ain’t feared o’ the dark, nor the spirits’ call,
Just feared o’ not makin’ it home at all.
If rest got a price, I’ma pay it with my song,
Singin’ to the bayou, where my heart belong.
[Chant]: "Hoo-ya, hoo-ya, spirits guide me home"

[Final Chorus: Layered Vocals, Slide Guitar Crying, Tribal Drums]:
O Lawd, O Lawd, keep this path ‘neath my weary feet,
Bayou hummin’ low, where the night do meet.
Tell them spirits I’ma make it ‘fore the midnight chime,
Gonna rest my bones, let my soul unwind.
O Lawd... give me peace this time.

[Outro: Harmonica Drone, Wet-Boot Stomps: Layered Falsettos with Baritone Growl Fade]:
"Bayou moan, river croon,
Lawd, send dat blessin’ soon.
‘Cause my soul heavy, my belly dry,
But dat sweet rest gon’ testify."
[adlib: Falsetto]:
Lawd, it’s me again, in this bayou deep...
Sun’s gone down, but my faith I keep.
Long, long day... let me find my way.
