The girls in Louisiana (needs music)
In Louisiana, I have never felt lonely,
even the clocks seem to work more slowly,
Voodoo, wonders, crazy bars…
Winnsboro down to Lake Charles…
I moved from Delaware to Idaho, Nebraska,
and I lived in Florida, Alaska…
but wherever I may have gone
the sun was another one
…than that in…
(Chorus)
Louisiana… Louisiana…
stars just do what they use to:
setting up a rendezvous,
turquoise lakes and little streets,
I miss girls that were so sweet,
the girls in Louisiana…
the girls in Louisiana…
I had jobs in Ohio, Texas, Indiana,
girlfriends in Hawaii, New York, Montana,
but among all the girls I kissed
there’s never been a girl I missed
…like that in…
(Chorus)
Louisiana… Louisiana…
stars just do what they use to:
setting up a rendezvous,
turquoise lakes and little streets,
I miss girls that were so sweet,
the girls in Louisiana…
the girls in Louisiana…
(Bridge)
The air was hot, the evenings drippy,
yes, those were the days…
but up there in the sky, there’s the Mississippi
and the clouds keep shippin’
all my dreams away…
(Chorus)
Louisiana… Louisiana…
stars just do what they use to:
setting up a rendezvous,
turquoise lakes and little streets,
I miss girls that were so sweet,
the girls in Louisiana…
the girls in Louisiana…
