Louisiana Boy

Well I called in sick I had to get away

I was going crazy out here in LA

I need to go where the crawfish flowed like wine

Well I packed up my things and headed down the road

Took a little more than a week of free low

Going to Louisiana for a long, long time

One more day and I'll be there by dawn

I can't wait to see that state 'cause partner that's where I'm from

I'm a Louisiana boy grew up on the corner

I'm used to the people and I even drink their water

Been shucking them oysters since I was just a kid

Trapping alligators like my grandad did

I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty but now I'm back to stay

I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money and a love for the delta bay

Well it used to be where everybody knew me

I was drinking liquor when I was thirteen

They called me the Cajun kid everywhere I'd go

But when I moved away I left it all behind

With my overalls and my gator skinned tie

I swore that I'd never come back to the life I know

But the city life was just to different for me

I'd move away but I'd just come back to keep on living down stream

I'm a Louisiana boy grew up on the corner

I'm used to the people and I even drink their water

Been shucking them oysters since I was just a kid

Trapping alligators like my grandad did

I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty but now I'm back to stay

I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money and a love for the delta bay

One more day and I'll be there by dawn

I can't wait to see that state 'cause partner that's where I'm from

I'm a Louisiana boy grew up on the corner

I'm used to the people and I even drink their water

Been shucking them oysters since I was just a kid

Trapping alligators like my grandad did

I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty but now I'm back to stay

I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money and a love for the delta bay

Yes I'm a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money and a love for the delta bay

All right
