Riverboat Fantasy

Sittin' on a riverboat havin' a party
Me and my Cajun Queen
She's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi river
Headin' down to New Orleans

The year is 1894
Oh, come on mama, and love me some more
Her dark eyes flash like a gambler's rings
She shakes her pretty head and sings

Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
Watchin' the sun go down
A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Now look at that wheel go around

Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses
That's the life for me
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On a riverboat fantasy

Can't think, can't drink anymore whiskey
I could've drunk a river dry, this old boat
She's just sittin' in the moonlight
Catchin' the gleam in her eye

Showers of rain come pourin' down
The sky full of stars like a French lace gown
Shimmer, glimmer, I think I'm gonna fall
Woops, catch me mama, that's all

Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
Watchin' the sun go down
A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Now look at that wheel go around

Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses
That's the life for me
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On a riverboat fantasy

Delta sun beats down like a hammer
It gives the low down blues
I've got a cotton gin, I'll weave and spin
And shake the dust from my shoes

I made my money, I found me a honey
To tickle me under my chin
When morning comes, I'll ride into town
And worry about the shape I'm in

Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
Watchin' the sun go down
A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Now look at that wheel go around

Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses
That's the life for me, yes, it is
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On a riverboat fantasy
