John Brannen

Lyrics

I gave my baby Betty Lou , a little taste of conqueroo , she slides on over right behind the wheel
the chain lightning starts to boom the smell of diesel and perfume , around the corner you can hear the tires sqeal
blue moon on a cypress swamp , gypsy sittin up on a stump above the levee where the hound dogs bay
down the road to the midnight sun, a little joint where the sea hags run ,they got a potion keep the haints away

AND IT'S ALWAYS STRANGE DAYS ON HOODOO HIGHWAY

he got a serpent wrapped around his arm, from his necklace hangs a charm ,to tell your fortune or tell your misery
you come here searching for your hearts desire , to cast a spell into the fire but noyhing here is what it seems to be

AND IT'S ALWAYS STRANGE DAYS ON HOODOO HIGHWAY

now through the curtains of Spanish moss you get a feeling that the lines been crossed, you've found the place and it's off the map
make a wish , dream a dream , did you hear that hoot owl scream, he's telling you now you cant go back

AND IT'S ALWAYS STRANGE DAYS ON HOODOO HIGHWAY
GOING DOWN HOODOO HIGHWAY
ON HOODOO HIGHWAY
YEAH
