[00:14.76]A long time ago, yeah, before you was born, dude
[00:18.94]When I was still single and life was great
[00:22.91]I held this job as a traveling salesman
[00:27.34]That kept me moving from state to state
[00:30.53]
[00:32.18]Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
[00:34.33]State of Louisiana
[00:36.39]Wondering where a city boy could go
[00:40.58]To get a little conversation
[00:42.68]Drink a little red wine
[00:44.72]Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
[00:46.88]Dancing to Zydeco
[00:48.37]
[01:13.84]Along come a young girl, she's pretty as a prayer book
[01:17.84]Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
[01:22.50]I said good gracious can this be my luck
[01:26.14]If that's my prayer book, Lord let us pray
[01:30.44]
[01:31.23]Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
[01:33.26]State of Louisiana
[01:35.32]Wondering where a city boy could do
[01:39.42]To get her in a conversation
[01:41.30]Maybe drink a little red wine
[01:43.65]Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
[01:45.72]The King of the Bayou
[01:48.24]
[01:55.86]Well, that was your mother and that was your father
[01:59.65]Before you was born, dude, when life was great
[02:03.74]You are the burden of my generation
[02:08.20]I sure do love you, well let's get that straight
[02:11.54]
[02:13.60]Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
[02:15.90]Across the street from The Public
[02:17.14]Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
[02:21.33]Maybe get a little conversation
[02:23.41]Drink a little red wine
[02:25.51]Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
[02:27.61]Dancing the night away
