Bayou Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just another Louisiana morning Bayou rain falling without warning Babies crying Windows dirty, I can't see out it Sitting and smoking and thinking about it Lord, I'm so tired (So tired), so tired [Pre-Chorus] I've been out working in the long cold night I'm too tired to sleep, to hungry to fight (So tired) Working for the man hard as I can Trying to make a living in this bayou land (So tired) [Chorus] Good Lord, what kind of life is this for my baby? It's bad enough I gotta suffer it myself Take our love, take us from this bayou country Let the bayou bums starve by themselves [Verse 2] Just another Louisiana afternoon Drinking homemade liquor, two ounce, smooth 'Til you hanging Don't talk much, 'cause The Man is crazy Times are hard, things are hazy Lord, I'm so tired [Pre-Chorus] To make it in this town you got to work all over When I get home, I start all over (Got to start all over) Half dead by the end of the night But it's what I gotta do to give my man a good life [Chorus] Good Lord, what kind of life is this for my baby? It's bad enough I gotta suffer it myself Take our love, take us from this bayou country Let the bayou bums starve by themselves Let the bayou bums drink themselves to hell
