[00:17.25]4:30 a m July 28
[00:21.01]In the middle of a storm never touchin' the brake
[00:25.25]I drove like a bat outta hell
[00:27.95]Down that lonely ol' four lane
[00:33.45]With the bright lights of Houston just fadin' behind
[00:37.76]My tires tearin' up the road toward the state line
[00:41.76]I was leavin' the great Lone Star state
[00:45.14]That I loved for good
[00:49.07]For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana
[00:54.57]On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair
[00:59.15]And when I get there I'm gonna get down on one knee
[01:02.27]'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me
[01:07.40]Don't get me wrong
[01:11.46]Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas
[01:15.02]She's the only reason I'd ever stay gone
[01:20.21]
[01:29.50]Just about Baton Rouge I was changin' my mind
[01:31.06]Thinkin' 'bout all the things I'd be leavin' behind
[01:34.80]Like a Red River sunrise
[01:36.87]And the stars on a Galveston night
[01:39.56]
[01:42.36]For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana
[01:47.30]On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair
[01:51.30]And when I get there I'm gonna get down on one knee
[01:55.42]'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me
[01:59.86]Don't get me wrong
[02:04.67]Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas
[02:08.24]An' she's the only reason I'd ever stay gone
[02:13.68]Like a long lonely night
[02:15.62]Wonderin' where I'd spend the rest of my life
[02:19.94]Gone like an old tumbleweed
[02:24.06]Rollin' his way to a place he finally call home
[02:34.66]
[03:00.39]For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana
[03:05.39]On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair
[03:09.58]And when I get there I'm gonna get down on one knee
[03:13.40]'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me
[03:18.01]Don't get me wrong
[03:22.52]Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas
[03:26.14]An' she's the only reason I'd ever stay gone
[03:34.02]Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas
[03:37.46]An' you're the only reason I'd ever stay gone
