Deep In Louisiana

Oh boy, Friday's here again

Gotta wake up and get my eight hours in

I'm so tired tryin' to get to work on time

But I'm smiling 'cause tonight is gonna be so fine.

When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise

Into a purple bayou sky

Ain't it good to be alive, deep in Louisiana

Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night

Where people dance till the morning light

Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

Oh me, how the noontime sun beats down

Oh, I feel the heat rise off the ground

I keep working and the time goes dragging by

So I daydream about how it's gonna be tonight.

When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise

Into a purple bayou sky

Ain't it good to be alive, deep in Louisiana

Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night

Where people dance till the morning light

Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

You'll find we don't have much time for tears

And your lonely blues are just gonna disappear.

When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise

Into a purple bayou sky

Ain't it good to be alive, deep in Louisiana

Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night

Where people dance till the morning light

Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.

I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana...
