A long time ago yeah[00:00:13]

Before you was born dude[00:00:15]

When I was still single[00:00:17]

And life was great[00:00:19]

I held this job as a traveling salesman[00:00:21]

That kept me moving from state to state[00:00:26]

Well I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette[00:00:30]

State of Louisiana[00:00:33]

Wondering where a city boy could go[00:00:35]

To get a little conversation[00:00:39]

Drink a little red wine[00:00:41]

Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls[00:00:43]

Dancing to Zydeco[00:00:45]

Along come a young girl[00:01:12]

She's pretty as a prayerbook[00:01:14]

Sweet as an apple on Christmas day[00:01:16]

I said good gracious can this be my luck[00:01:18]

If that's my prayerbook[00:01:25]

Lord let us pray[00:01:26]

Well I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette[00:01:29]

State of Louisiana[00:01:32]

Wondering where a city boy could go[00:01:34]

To get her in a conversation[00:01:36]

Drink a little red wine[00:01:40]

Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier[00:01:42]

The King of the Bayou[00:01:44]

Well that was your mother[00:01:54]

And that was your father[00:01:56]

Before you was born dude[00:01:58]

When life was great[00:02:00]

You are the burden of my generation[00:02:02]

I sure do love you[00:02:04]

But let's get that straight[00:02:06]

Well I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette[00:02:11]

Across the street from The Public[00:02:14]

Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe[00:02:15]

Maybe get a little conversation[00:02:19]

Drink a little red wine[00:02:22]

Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier[00:02:24]

Dancing the night away[00:02:26]
