[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
