Last Train Home - Louisiana lyrics

When you say it like that Shreveport sounds so far away Explain to me again, and make it make some sense Why you're going back You said something about your family and friends But tonight I just can't pretend That I wish you well in Louisiana The only thing I wish is that you would stay Oh, Louisiana stole my heart away Once there was a time I loved Louisiana For sending me a woman The most beautiful woman I'd ever seen Now you say you're going back home And you're going home alone So tonight my opinion's revised About that place, Louisiana I'm in an awful state, baby Oh, Louisiana, you stole my heart away We went together once down to Louisiana You told me all your secrets Walking through the bottomland Now you say when you're settled in And when we've become just friends That you'd like me to visit you there In your new home in Louisiana As if I could just walk in one day No, I'll never go back to Louisiana Stole my heart away
