Sweet Home Louisiana (Outlaw canun Country Version)
Verse 1
One, two, three… turn it up loud.
Mud on the tires, smoke in the clouds.
Headed back south where the blacktop ends,
Home to the bayou and all my friends.
Steel-toe boots and a hard hat tan,
Raised on grit, that’s the way I am.
Chorus
Sweet Home Louisiana
Where the cypress meets the tide.
Sweet Home Louisiana
That’s where this outlaw comes alive.
From the Gulf to the red dirt pines,
This rough old heart still knows the way.
Sweet Home Louisiana
I’ll be home one day.
Verse 2
Sun comes up on an offshore deck,
Salt in the wind and sweat on my neck.
Coffee’s black, the diesel’s rollin’,
Nobody quits till the whistle’s blowin’.
Roughneck hands and a faithful soul,
God’s the reason I made it home.
Chorus
Sweet Home Louisiana
Where the cypress meets the tide.
Sweet Home Louisiana
That’s where this outlaw comes alive.
From the Gulf to the red dirt pines,
This rough old heart still knows the way.
Sweet Home Louisiana
I’ll be home one day.
Bridge
Play that fiddle, let the washboard sing.
Fill my cup and let freedom ring.
From New Orleans to Acadiana,
Every mile’s a part of my heart.
I’ve been knocked down, I’ve done my time,
But this Louisiana blood still runs wild.
Final Chorus
Sweet Home Louisiana
Where the stars shine through the pines.
Sweet Home Louisiana
Lord, this old life sure made me tough.
If I die with these boots on my feet,
Lay me down where the marsh grass sways.
Sweet Home Louisiana
I’ll love you always.
Outro
Yeah… the bayou raised me.
The oilfield paid me.
The good Lord saved me.
Sweet Home Louisiana.
