Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm so beat my vision's just a yellow haze
But I know that I am gonna make it home tonight
And then I'm gonna see my light
Yeah, tonight I'll see my Louisiana lady
My Louisiana lady's gonna sleep with me tonight, and hold me tight
Louisiana lady
Louisiana lady I love you
Louisiana lady I love you
Six more hours till I make New Orleans
Oh, well I been doin' too much speed and feelin'
Downright mean
And I think that I can cut an hour off the time
If I keep lady on my mind
Yeah, tonight I'll see my Louisiana lady
My Louisiana lady's gonna sleep with me tonight, and hold me tight
Louisiana lady
Know that I need you
Louisiana lady I love you
Louisiana lady I love you
Well, every man has got to earn his pay
Oh, but I feel so bad each time I have to
To go away
But when I get home tonight it's gonna be worthwhile
I'm gonna see my lady smile
Yeah, tonight I'll see my Louisiana lady
My Louisiana lady's gonna sleep with me tonight, and hold me tight
Louisiana lady
Know that I need you
Louisiana lady oh
Louisiana lady oh
Louisiana lady oh
Louisiana lady I love you
