Back In Louisiana

Another trip headed west bound

Chevy loaded up skinny pedal down

Kids in the rearview waving daddy bye

Trucking down 20 about to Abilene

Things looking dusty don't see much green

And it only gets worse the further west I roll

I'll be camping out in Pecos tonight

Wind picking up aint a tree in sight

And if you know me you know this aint my style

Nah I want to be back in Louisiana

See what my baby got cooked for dinner

I bet she got a pot of gumbo on that stove

Yeah I want to be back where the pine trees grow

Yeah I want to hear them ol bullfrogs croak

Now it aint as bad as my daddy had

Pay phones and letters just to keep tabs

On what going on with your folks back home

Well it aint as rough with the ol facetime

But I still like to snuggle that woman of mine

Kiss my young'ins and tell them goodnight

That's why I want to be back in Louisiana

See what my baby got cooked for dinner

I bet she got a pot of gumbo on that stove

Yeah I want to be back where the pine trees grow

Yeah I want to see them lightning bugs glow

Well I guess I'll stay out here a spell

Even though we all call it west hell

Yeah it sure aint no sportsman's paradise

Hang around long enough to get some cash

But as soon as I build up my stash

East back to the boot I go

Then I'm gonna be back in Louisiana

See what my baby got cooked for dinner

I hope she's got a pot of gumbo on that stove

Yeah I'm gonna be back where the pine trees grow

Yeah I'm gonna to hear them bullfrogs croak

And I'm gonna see them lightning bugs glow
