Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison - Departing Louisiana lyrics

[Verse 1] Departing Louisiana, there ain't nothing here for me But my old man, he dont see it quite like me The air's so thick here in Lake Charles, Louisiana The ground's so wet that it soaks up through the shoes On my feet [Chorus] Hey, hey, baby, can you tell me Life don't suit you, the way it used to And I don't know how, we ever stayed this long Ever since we came to Louisiana Sleep don't come in Louisiana And the night's so long in Louisiana And I, I-I-I, ain't going home [Verse 2] Found a job in texas, 9-5 just paying for me But my old man might call it, no counting lazy What we don't get here in Lake Charles, Louisiana College boys and roughness, both end up in those old refineries [Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 3] And my responsibilities, I have not forgotten these Something calling me home to Louisiana News ain't good in Louisiana And the light's gone down in Louisiana And I, I think I'm going home [Outro] Ah-ah, going home Hey, hey, baby
