Louisiana
My clutch burned out on the interstate
Outside new Orleans
She picked me up, took me in,
Pretty sight I'd seen.
Met her kin and family
They had grace and they had charm
But she was like the summer rain,
The calm before the storm
Louisiana, Louisiana how can it be
Louisiana you just had to set me free
I wore out my shoes walking
Spent a night in every bar
I looked for her in Shreveport
I looked for her in Lake Charles
Like a distant fading memory
I could see her in the stars
Louisiana I'll say goodbye
I'm heading back to my Texas farm
Louisiana, Louisiana how can it be
Louisiana you just had to set me free
I heard the telephone ring
One hot dry dusty night
I could not pick up the receiver
I couldn't bear to hear her phone
So I turned up the radio
And let the screen door slam
Louisiana its to late
I'm a different man
Louisiana, Louisiana how can it be
Louisiana you just had to set me free
Outside new Orleans
She picked me up, took me in,
Pretty sight I'd seen.
Met her kin and family
They had grace and they had charm
But she was like the summer rain,
The calm before the storm
Louisiana, Louisiana how can it be
Louisiana you just had to set me free
I wore out my shoes walking
Spent a night in every bar
I looked for her in Shreveport
I looked for her in Lake Charles
Like a distant fading memory
I could see her in the stars
Louisiana I'll say goodbye
I'm heading back to my Texas farm
Louisiana, Louisiana how can it be
Louisiana you just had to set me free
I heard the telephone ring
One hot dry dusty night
I could not pick up the receiver
I couldn't bear to hear her phone
So I turned up the radio
And let the screen door slam
Louisiana its to late
I'm a different man
Louisiana, Louisiana how can it be
Louisiana you just had to set me free
