Lyrics :: Back to the Bayou

Hey baby – I got something to say
- I figured something out
Hey baby – I’ve come an awful long way
- Think I took a bad turn
Well I walked on barbed wire
‘Tween the snake-pit and the fire
Hey baby – was that right or wrong?
- Lord I gotta sing this song!

Chorus
Like lightning out of the blue
I’m coming home for you
I’m coming home, coming home
Coming back to the bayou

Hey baby, I know, long time no see
- But now I’m back for good
Hey baby – Would you run with me?
- Well I know you could
Oh I travelled all nite on the 61
From the good I did and the killin’ done
Gonna go baby – where we belong
- Lord I gotta sing this song!

Chorus

I wish I was a boy again
With no scars to show
I wish I was at the place again
That only you and i do know
I wish I could turn back time
And the bad things we’ve done
I think I’ve been singing this song
Ever since the world began...

Chorus
