Louisiana

Lyrics "Louisiana"

(David Munyon / Don Devaney / John Scott Sherrill)

This song was written at a writing session in Nashville with the very great songwriters Don Devaney and John Scott Sherrill, Don had the title „Serious Love“ and we had a word of prayer to write a good song for our fans, and I chipped in with the guitar riff thing, and some of the hook... John Scott Sherrill and Don Devaney wrote most of it, though I wrote some of it... Rick Travino released it on his CD titled Learning as you go on Columbia Records, we try for a more Blues type rendition here.


Back in Louisiana there's a girl I know
She knows the way to the crawdad hole
I remember wild kisses that would drive me insane
She must of had swamp water in her veins
And when I see her again, I ain't ever never gonna let her go

I'm going back to Louisiana boys if you don't mind
I'm gonna find the true lover that I left behind
And when I do I'm gonna ask her if she'll be mine
And when she says yes, I'm gonna hold her tight
Then we'll make love in the pale moonlight
Finally things are gonna be alright
When I go back to Louisiana lip he gone along, long time

Serious Love
In Louisiana
Yes it was, serious love

Back in Louisiana she's the queen of the bay
Some Cajun boys gonna steel her away
I don't wanna be away from her one day more
She's gonna see me runnin' up to her front door
I'm going back to Louisiana, I just hope I ain't too late
