lyrics

Fly the 6am to catch the southern sun
Break up with the city and her winter rush
Welcomed by my river to her loving arms
She murmurs, ‘Such a pity, why’s it been so long’?

Hello Louisiana my darling
What will it take to make you be mine?
Wind my way across the Mississippi delta
Turn on your bright lights, shine baby shine

Now we’re moving slowly like we’re losing blood
We’re never gonna leave here when our time is done

Hello Louisiana my darling
What will it take to make you be mine?
Slide with me across the Mississippi delta
Throw away your bad times, shine baby shine

So come on Louisiana my darling
Just for the weekend say you’ll be mine
I know they all say Virginia’s for the lovers
But we’re gonna show ‘em how we shine baby shine

Return to real existence and the race we run
We dreamed we’d never leave that perfect southern sun

Goodbye Louisiana my darling
Promise me now you will always be mine
Follow me home across the Mississippi delta
Cradle our memory and shine baby shine
