Louisiana

歌詞

Maybe it was a dream last night Or looking into my daughter's eyes But my heart was sinking Yeah, man, it got me thinking About all of my yesterdays Every minute, every page of my innocence Wishing I could go back when I was wild and free as the Mississippi Playing in the sugar cane A part of me is gone I don't know when it slipped away I guess I left it in Louisiana Blowing in the wind Hiding in the quarter Gotta get back there again To the sweet sounds of the bayou Let it wash right over me Make me whole again Bring back that missing piece That I left in Louisiana Well, I still feel the same But the mirror tells me that I've changed Every morning it's like a subtle warning It comes on like a delta rain Soaks through my skin down to my vein And it leaves me breathless And a little restless Reminding me that life is so fragile Like a thin sheet of a glass The moment you're living right now Will soon become your past And I left it in Louisiana Blowing in the wind Hiding in the quarter Gotta get back there again To the sweet sounds of the bayou Let it wash right over me Make me whole again Bring back that missing piece That I left in Louisiana But every night I close my eyes And I go walking under that magnolia sky That I left it in Louisiana Blowing in the wind Hiding in the quarter Gotta get back there again To the sweet sounds of the bayou Let it wash right over me Make me whole again Bring back that missing piece That I left in Louisiana
