Bayou Song lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just another Louisiana morning
Bayou rain falling without warning
Babies crying
Windows dirty, I can't see out it
Sitting and smoking and thinking about it
Lord, I'm so tired (So tired), so tired

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been out working in the long cold night
I'm too tired to eat, to hungry to fight (So tired)
Working for the man hard as I can
Trying to make a living in this bayou land (So tired)

[Chorus]
Good Lord, what kind of life is this for my baby?
It's bad enough I gotta suffer it myself
Take our love, takes us from this bayou country
Let the bayou bog starve by itself

[Verse 2]
Just another Louisiana afternoon
Drinking homemade liquor two ounce smooth
'Til you hanging
Don't talk much 'cause the pain is crazy
Times are hard, things are hazy
Lord, I'm so tired
[Pre-Chorus]
To make it in this town you got to work all over
When I get home, I start all over (Got to start all over)
Half dead by the end of the night
But it's what I gotta do to give my man a good life

[Chorus]
Good Lord, what kind of life is this for my baby?
It's bad enough I gotta suffer it myself
Take our love, takes us from this bayou country
Let the bayou bog starve by itself

[Outro]
Let the bayou bog drink itself to hell
