For Louisiana

from For Louisiana by Rod Gator

lyrics

When the stage is empty and the crowd is gone 
I find myself standing here all alone 
I pace back and forth in the parking lot 
Asking myself is it worth it or not 
  
Can hear them big wheels whine on the open highway 
Gotta leave tomorrow I could never stay 
My mind starts drifting through the smoke and the haze 
I find myself thinking ‘bout the place I was raised 
  
Well highway won’t you take me 
I give you all I plead 
For Louisiana, a cypress sunset 
And a cool cool breeze 
I said for Louisiana, a cypress sunset 
And a cool cool breeze 
  
Well here in my hometown things stay the same 
It’s been thirty-one years here ain’t nothing change 
What the hell am I doing living life this way 
My momma and my daddy getting older each day 
  
Aw, but I’m in too deep now this is all I know 
And if I gave it all up they’d say I told you so 
See them boys at the station waiting for a ride 
Gonna buy me a ticket leave it all behind 
  
Well highway won’t you take me 
I give you all I plead 
For Louisiana, a cypress sunset 
And a cool cool breeze 
I said for Louisiana, a cypress sunset 
And a cool cool breeze 
  
Well, some nights I swear I see her face in the crowd 
But we both know she’s been long gone now 
I still carry her memory I’m never alone 
I hear her sweet voice singing won’t you carry me home 
  
Well highway won’t you take me 
I give you all I plead 
For Louisiana, a cypress sunset 
And a cool cool breeze 
I said for Louisiana, a cypress sunset 
And a cool cool breeze
