Home to Louisiana

I was walking by the river, I was walking on my own.

And as I saw them, deep in water, they reminded me of home.

Take me home, home to Louisiana.

Take me back to the place where I belong.

Take me home, home to Louisiana 'Cause I'm sure I've stayed away too long

As I was standing on the shoreside I saw a woman, oh so sweet

She was smiling as she passed me by I was reminded of where I want to be

Take me home, home to Louisiana

Take me back to the place where I belong

Take me home, home to Louisiana

'Cause I'm sure I stayed away too long

I just can't forget her

I can't make the longing go away

Think of all the good times

And have I left a memory of her prayer?

Take me home, home to Louisiana

Take me back to the place where I belong

Take me home, home to Louisiana

'Cause I'm sure I stayed away too long

I just can't forget her

I can't make the longing go away

Think of all the good times I never had from any other place

Take me home, home, to Louisiana

Take me back to the place where I belong

Take me home, home, to Louisiana

'Cause I'm sure I spent way too long

'Cause I'm sure I stayed away too long
