Mipso - Louise lyrics

Me and Louise never had much luck Just a couple of kids with a lot of love Laid our fortunes on her daddy's old farm Didn't see how dirt could do such harm Seasons came and the seasons left The only thing that changed was the shape of her dress She said: you're a good man, you'll have my child You can't raise a living a thing on this cursëd old ground We laid a sheet on the piano keys Crying good lord, please, please Packed our things into the old farm car Wondering if it could take us very far And I said [Chorus] Everything about it takes a little luck Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck It doesn't come with any guarantees But there's gas in the tank, Louise Out here on the borderline the sun sets low Like a couple of jackrabbits dancing in the morning snow Knew we'd make it, if we could just get out The only thing we saw was love in sow[?] Miles came and the miles went Our hearts full - our money spent Somewhere outside El Paso my Louise cried out She took my arm - said, "It's time now" I prayed and waited all night Oh Louise, please, please I heard a new voice with the new day I thought back to what her Daddy used to say And he said [Chorus] Everything about it takes a little luck Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck It doesn't come with any guarantees But there's gas in the tank, Louise [Bridge, instrumental] Then me and Louise didn't go too far We named our boy for Louise's pa Found a plot of ground we could call our own We built a house - we built a home And we said [Chorus] Everything about it takes a little luck Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck It doesn't come with any guarantees But there's gas in the tank, Louise But there's gas in the tank But there's gas in the tank But there's gas in the tank Louise
