Well I called in sick, I had to get away I was going crazy out here in L.A I needed to go where the crawfish flow like wine I packed my things and headed down the road Took a litle more than a weekly load Im going to Louisiana for a long, long time One more day and Ill be there by dawn I cant wait to see that state Cause partner thats where Im from [Chorus] Im a Louisiana boy grown up on the Quarter Im used to the people and I even drink the water Been shuckin them oysters since I was just a kid Trapping alligators like my granddad did I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty But now Im back to stay Im a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money And a love for the Delta Bay Well it used to be where everybody knew me I was drinking liquor when I was thirteen They called me the Cajun Kid everywhere Id go But when I moved away I left it all behind With my overalls and a gatorskin tie I swore that Id never come back to the life I know But the city life is just too different for me I could live there again, but Id just come home To keep on living downstream [Chorus] Im a Louisiana boy grown up on the Quarter Im used to the people and I even drink the water Been shuckin them oysters since I was just a kid Trapping alligators like my granddad did I moved to the city where the girls looked pretty But now Im back to stay Im a Louisiana boy with a pocket full of money And a love for the Delta Bay
