OH LOUISIANA
HE TAKES A STROLL
DOWN THE CANE FIELD ROAD
IT’S WHERE HE’S FROM
ALMOST 16 YEARS
SINCE HE SHED THOSE TEARS
ON THE DAY THAT HE LEFT HOME
IT WAS A HUMID DAY
BAREFOOT CHILDREN PLAYED
I’M STILL LOOKIN’ FOR THAT SUMMER DAY
WHEN TIME JUST SLIPPED AWAY
I
OH LOUISIANA
SOME KIND OF HOLD ON ME
IT’S HARD TO PLANT NEW ROOTS
WHEN THE SOIL
DON’T BREAK SO EASILY
OH LOUISIANA
YOUR WORLD IS SANE TO ME
THIS CAJUN BLOOD
LIKE A RIVERS FLOOD
IT’S WILD
AND RUNNIN FREE
NEXT TO HWY1
THE BAYOU RUNS TO
THE GULF OF MEXICO
BROKEN DREAMS FLOATING DOWNSTREAM
IN A NEVER ENDING FLOW
SEE THE SPIRIT OF THE PAST
IN THE FACES OF TODAY
HEAR THE VOICES CALLIN
AND THIS TIME I’M HERE TO STAY
OH LOUISIANA
SOME KIND OF HOLD ON ME
OH LIKE CYPRESS STUMPS
YOUR ROOTS ARE PLANTED DEEP INSIDE OF ME
OH LOUISIANA
YOUR WORLD IS SANE TO ME
THIS CAJUN BLOOD
LIKE A RIVERS FLOOD
IT’S WILD
AND RUNNIN FREE
THAT HEAVY RAIN SMELLS
LIGHT AND SWEET
AND THE MEMORIES COME DOWN WITH EM
THE ROOF BECOMES AN OLD TIN DRUM
AND THE RAINDROPS TAP OUT THE RHYTHMS
OH LOUISIANA
SOME KIND OF HOLD ON ME
IT’S HARD TO PLANT NEW ROOTS
WHEN THE SOIL
DON’T BREAK SO EASILY
OH LOUISIANA
YOUR WORLD IS SANE TO ME
THIS CAJUN BLOOD
LIKE A RIVERS FLOOD
IT’S WILD (IT’S WILD)
AND RUNNIN FREE
