Lyrics:
Floatin' in the lower nine
Waitin' for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sittin' on a roof eatin' alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cries
'Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes
Lord
Tell me when help is gonna come
Stella said Daddy when you gonna put me in a song
Storm went right on by
Thanked the Lord everybody's alright
Don't mean to throw off a second line
But the devil broke the levee and left us here to die
Stella said Daddy when you gonna put me in a song
All the things we know and
Everything we hope for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar where
The old men used to be
The corner store and market
Where Stella used to sing to me
Grace is all I'm asking
When will Grace return
Grace is all I'm asking
Remember how it feels
Lazy days in the summertime
Then my Stella smiled
Stella said Daddy when you gonna put me in a song

Damn that's some honky tonk!

Was Dave Matthews touched by God? How could a person have such great song writing abilities? Right up there with Lennon & McCartney, Michael Jackson, Elvis Costello, and Andy Partridge.

Dave! Happy turkey day! Your songs will set the tone for a great holiday!

@AmySavoie1 Actually that's exactly why he said he wrote this song. She always asked why her name wasn't in a song and he felt really bad about it so he wrote this song to make her happy. Just shows that he has one of the best hearts in the world and he really cares about people
