lyrics

Letter to Shreveport
©Kevin Gordon(Little Rain Music(BMI))

Letter to Shreveport
Black ink between blue lines
Letter to Shreveport
Black ink between blue lines
Still got some people there
Still see them in my mind

Hot coffee in a percolator
Drop biscuits on the stove
Coffee in a tin percolator
Drop biscuits on the stove
Johnny Horton on the radio
You don’t hear that no more

Message to Monroe
Dialing down to Baton Rouge
Message to Monroe
Dialing down to Baton Rouge
I’m on the outside now
Can’t get a line back through

Talking to Brownie Ford
Or was it: he was talking to me
Talking to Brownie Ford
Or was it: he was talking to me
He said “Don’t let em mess with your music
Keep it real, keep it free—
For me”
