lyrics

Well Brian and me were getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge 
Down where the moss hangs low and the muddy water meets the ridge  
It wasn't so long ago round here yeah I swore I was stuck 
Y'all it's a hell of a thing getting high where you grew up  
 
And see the sun bouncing off the water 
Colored with yellow, green and red 
Oh, Brian and me there we hid 
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge 
 
Well the storms cloud came and the moon it started to rise  
Could feel the red hue starting to form in each other's eyes 
Could hear the music playing softly and the cars passing overhead  
Just a passing back and forth that left handed cigarette  
 
Could see the sun bouncing off the water 
Colored with yellow, green and red 
Oh, Brian and me there we hid 
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge 
 
Well she grew up a few miles outside of town  
You know everyone around here they just put her down 
And I remember a time back when we were both so young  
Can feel her lips touch mine as she exhales into my lungs 
 
Could see the sun bouncing off the water 
Colored with yellow, green and red 
Oh, her and me there we hid 
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge 
Oh, her and me there we hid 
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge
