Bayou betrayal,
Sweltering in the summer heat.
The Delta's coming back to life,
Fireflies dancing a forgotten beat.
An unknown artist paints the skies,
In the hues of orange and gold.
We see visions of the days of old,
We see visions of all that we were told.
Tall ships traveling ribbons of fire,
Pirates vanish into the sunset's pyre.

[Chorus]
There is a rhythm in the air,
And yesterday I would have cared.
But today she broke her promise,
Cheating right in front of my face.
There's no escape from this stifling air,
She broke my heart and didn't care.

[Verse 2]
Now I'm lost in so many ways,
Emotions move from sorrow to hate.
Of what I found out way too late.
Am I hoping that she'll come back home,
Am I wishing she’ll come back home,
Or hoping that I can easily move on?

[Chorus]
There is a rhythm in the air,
And yesterday I would have cared.
But today she broke her promise,
Cheating right in front of my face.
There's no escape from this stifling air,
She broke my heart and didn't care.

[Bridge]
The sweltering heat makes my spirit boil,
Thinking of my best friend's betraying smile.
Everything since the start was a lie,
And from my feelings no place to hide.
Convinced that cheaters come and lovers go,
Friends don't always tell the truth, you know.

[Chorus]
There is a rhythm in the air,
And yesterday I would have cared.
But today she broke her promise,
Cheating right in front of my face.
There's no escape from this stifling air,
She broke my heart and didn't care.

[Outro]
Rolling through the bayou with a six pack of beer,
My shotgun sits right beside me.
Love no longer flows like strawberry wine,
Sorrow and pain fall like acid rain.
Am I still destined for something more,
And is betrayal something I can ignore?
