Getting Out |
LyricsI just got the call from my big brotherHe saw the parole board yesterday And he's finally getting out My brother's finally getting out When he went down with his third strike I was just a kid They grabbed him in the playground, they said he was selling lids But he's finally getting out My brother's finally getting out (Chorus) This time tomorrow when he walks through the door He's gonna be smiling like he never did before Crank up the guitars and beat your drum Gonna make the bayou ring til the morning comes Call out the neighbours bring out all your friends My big brother is coming home again We gonna roast a pig and we got crawfish stew The whole town is coming to a party on the bayou My brother's is getting out My brother's finally is getting out The old man's cleaning up his whiskey still Gonna drink some moonshine up on the hill My brother's getting out My brother's finally getting out (Chorus) This time tomorrow when he walks through the door He's gonna be smiling like he never did before Crank up the guitars and beat your drum Gonna make the bayou ring til the morning comes Call out the neighbours bring out all your friends My big brother is coming home again (Slide guitar) (Chorus) This time tomorrow when he walks through the door He's gonna be smiling like he never did before Crank up the guitars and beat your drum Gonna make the bayou ring til the morning comes Call out the neighbours bring out all your friends My big brother is coming home again (Repeat) |
| Short Song Description: Nothing says party quite like cajun music, or zydeco. This is a straight-up party stomper. |
| Long Song Description: The theme of the song is "we have a great reason for a party". For me, 1960's New Orleans music has always been the best party music ever, and I have incorporated those roots into this song. |
| Story Behind the Song: The song is about a boy who grew up without his big brother due to the "war on drugs". The release of of his brother from jail is cause for a huge party, the whole town will celebrate. |
