Old U.S. 59 is the furthest that I’ve ever been.
Dusk til dawn with my pedal to the metal, After dark, last sign said Texarkana.
Paradise Pines with 100 in 5’s, Gonna buy me the lovin’ of a Cajun queen.
Devil tattoo at the top of her thigh, One wink she like “darlin’, I’m Sweet Louisiana”
I go weak and burn, for Sweet Louisiana
Old U.S. 59 is the furthest that I’ve ever been.
Real bad ass, sippin’ whisky from the bottle, Had a private dance, you’re gunna make me a man.
Mexican guy, stood 6ft 5, heading back my way with a gun and a shovel.
Out steps Sweet in the blink of an eye, One crashing right hand, he sleeps Louisiana.
I go weak and burn, for Sweet Louisiana.
I said “Will you come on home with me?”
She said “baby, I don’t work for free”.
Please don’t you leave me here alone all by myself.
I go weak and burn, for Sweet Louisiana.
