BOOT STATE From the 2002 release "Over Cloud Nine" |
|
Words and music by Danny Johnson
Back to Louisiana, where it all began
I'm going back down to the boot state
Sweet southern sunshine again
I was out in California, and I found out how much trouble I could get in
Back to New Orleans, with my Texas friend
Back down to la bon ton, big easy feeling
Dance at the Mississippi River to a Cajun moon and a fiddle player needin' a liver
Oh muddy red river, I might just jump on in
Back down to the boot state eat a little catfish and le boudan
I lost some money gamblin' to a Mississippi queen a little delta daisy
I got a guitar that wants to bleeds, sweet Suzy Q don't you cry for me
