[00:17.26]4:30 a.m. July 28
[00:21.01]In the middle of a storm, never touchin' the brake
[00:25.26]I drove like a bat outta hell
[00:27.95]Down that lonely ol' four lane
[00:33.45]With the bright lights of Houston just fadin' behind
[00:37.76]My tires tearin' up the road toward the state line
[00:41.77]I was leavin' the great Lone Star state
[00:45.14]That I loved for good
[00:49.07]For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana
[00:54.58]On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair
[00:59.15]And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee
[01:02.28]'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me
[01:07.40]Don't get me wrong
[01:11.46]Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas
[01:15.03]She's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone
[01:20.21]
[01:29.50]Just about Baton Rouge, I was changin' my mind
[01:31.07]Thinkin' 'bout all the things I'd be leavin' behind
[01:34.81]Like a Red River sunrise
[01:36.87]And the stars on a Galveston night
[01:39.56]
[01:42.36]For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana
[01:47.31]On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair
[01:51.30]And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee
[01:55.42]'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me
[01:59.86]Don't get me wrong
[02:04.67]Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas
[02:08.24]An' she's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone
[02:13.69]Like a long lonely night
[02:15.63]Wonderin' where I'd spend the rest of my life
[02:19.95]Gone like an old tumbleweed
[02:24.07]Rollin' his way to a place he finally call home
[02:34.66]
[03:00.40]For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana
[03:05.40]On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair
[03:09.59]And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee
[03:13.40]'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me
[03:18.02]Don't get me wrong
[03:22.52]Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas
[03:26.15]An' she's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone
[03:34.02]Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas
[03:37.46]An' you're the only reason, I'd ever stay gone
