about

Recorded in one take, vocals and guitar, live at Ways Home Records in Detroit.

lyrics

Sugar cane aw sugar cane, I got louisiana in my viens
drunk on hope to spite the pain
finally my detroit blood's found sugar cane

[CH]
not chasin these statue gals, i got a heart'sa gotta move
houston couldn't hold me honey, not in my walkin shoes
lucky gypsy woman runnin, loves my ramblin blues

if you're just dealing, wheelin in place, cold slow grind
steady rollin days right off your mind
without a chill would you lean to warmth?
dont search for the sun all through winter's time

because spring eyes under cherry blooms
meant sleepless nights and days consumed
our trails an travelin boots melt down this mess
finding stranger's kindness beats the rest

High-rise dazzle vacant eyes, no honest word finds reprise
kill your noise, all the lame repeat you're
drowning out the rain and my city streets

sugar cane oh, sugar cane
i got louisiana in my veins
summer sun fills december's frame
my detroit blood's found sugar cane
