Lousiana Rain Lyrics

I see a barefoot boy down an old dirt road
A little ole' shotgun house with a wood burning stove
It had a rusted tin roof and broken window panes
I used to fall asleep to the Louisiana rain

We would go to church people came from miles around
To sing those gospel songs have dinner on the ground
The years they come and go but memories remain
And lately I've had dreams of the Louisiana rain

And the freight train blows somewhere in the night
And it's a lonesome thing to know I've left it all so far behind
I've got to get my life back simple and plain
'Cause lately I've had dreams of the Louisiana rain

I've got to get myself back simple and plain
'Cause lately I've had dreams of the Louisiana rain
Lately I've had them ole' dreams of the Louisiana rain
