|
Well I called in sick, I had to get away |
|
I was going crazy out here in L.A. |
|
I needed to go where the crawfish flow like wine |
|
I packed my things and headed down the road |
|
Took a litle more than a weekly load |
|
I'm 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 |
|
CHORUS |
|
I'm a Louisiana boy grown up on the Quarter |
|
I'm used to the people and I even drink the water |
|
Been shuckin' them oysters since I was just a kid |
|
Trapping alligators like my granddad 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 a gator-skin tie |
|
I swore that I'd never come back to the life I know |
|
But the city life is just too different for me |
|
I could live there again, but I'd just come home |
|
To keep on living downstream |
|
CHORUS |
