Swept Away Bayou (Facing the Headlights Alone) Lyrics

(Cochran/Crowe)

I wandered wonders wasteland alone
Looked hard and I couldn't find
The one thing most on my mind
Same thing time after time
It's you yeah you I was wondering 'bout you

Said I looked and I couldn't see
The things God put in front of me
Saw the trees and the leaves and the water
But not the wood
No, no I couldn't see you

Couldn't see that light shining in your eyes
Crossing o'er the lines of my disguise
Couldn't run from you 'til you helped me hide
Didn't see you coming swept out by the tide
That's you, yeah, you, swept away by you
