Well I was made Of Louisiana rain, My body born of the South And I rose with the cain, My momma gave me my name, But it never left her mouth I knew from the start That the pieces of my heart I'd lose under this world's weight And it hurt so hard So I ran so far That I forgot from where I came At Grand Chenier I saw mon père He said "take this with you son" He whispered in my ear And he went away in the air "It's so simple baby, god is the sun."

Well what can I say For the reasons people go away We get sick, we get good We do the things we think we should You left your screen door wide open So I guess you didn't find what you were hopin' You got nothin', but you still got somethin' Baby leavin' is the same as comin' Pas bon, boy It's time to go Allon boy Vont sont un homme Dans l'amour avec aller Dans l'amor aver heir Pleauvoir sur ma peau Lumiére dans l'eau Le vent par la mousse Les sud soupire pour tous Mais l'espoir est plus grand Que le poids de vos années Pas bon, boy It's time to go Allon, boy Vont sont un homme Pas bon, boy Allon, boy You were born to roam

Ey mari, pas plus de pluie Now the weather's just right On the swing, danglin' our bare feet Je t'aime, Je t'aime, on a Sunday night Ey defan, I miss you Everyday at this hour Je chante vos chansons pour nous Each and every dimanche soir Ey enfant, lui demande de danser Ya'll won't be around forever Just elle et toi, toute dimanche soir May time keep you together

Vermilion under rain Vermilion under sun Vermilion, heal my pain Vermilion, keep me young Vermilion of tomorrow Vermilion of the past Oh I don't care where time goes So long it don't go too fast Bathe in the river Bathe in the deep Rest near the river And still be your sleep

Mon Fils 05:13
The palmettos under your eyes Pitter patter hard every time you cry The petunias on your skin Are gonna wither if you know the mess I'm in But when the sun sets beyond the shore Child, you won't have to worry bout me no more And one day you'll get what you're asking for Then you won't have to worry bout me no more Your magnolias are in bloom But only until the weather get cool The heat and the rain beat on the ground Sometimes what helps us grow can also wear us down But when the sun sets beyond the shore Child, you won't have to worry bout me no more And one day you'll get what you're asking for Then you won't have to worry bout me no more So quit all that fussin' won't you We playin' bourré like you like on the front stoop And no matter what happens today or tomorrow I promise I promise I'll be with you regardless But when the sun sets beyond the shore Child, you won't have to worry bout me no more And one day you'll get what you're asking for Then you won't have to worry bout me no more Vous aurez toujours l'amour So you don't have to worry bout nothin' no more Vous aurez toujours l'amour So you don't have to worry bout nothin' no more
