Lyrics
0:08I knew that I'd lose you the moment we met
0:14But the bayou still sings every night in my head
0:17Though I can't understand what it wants
0:22I love when it rains but I hate getting wet
0:28Never thought it'd be me that you'd haunt
0:33Can't remember your words Lafayette
0:37You said words didn't matter it's what's in your head
0:44But if you don't ask then you're bound not to guess
0:47Still know what you said wasn't wrong
0:53I can't turn a corner or walk down the street
0:59Without seeing your face come along
1:03Last born son yeah loaded gun
1:10You know I recall somebody saying
1:14There ain't no cowboys left
1:19But they ain't met me and they ain't met you Lafayette
1:33They ain't met me Lafayette
1:38Ooh ooh
1:50They ain't met you Lafayette
1:58The months march away Lafayette
2:04I hear it takes years for the heart to reset
2:09Yeah one of these days I'll be done with regret
2:12Didn't think it would take me this long
2:18Still sing Delta Dawn when I catch a sunset
2:23I remember how you loved that song
2:27Last born son yeah loaded gun
2:35You know I recall somebody saying
2:39There ain't no cowboys left
2:44But they ain't met me and they ain't met you Lafayette
I knew that I'd lose you the moment we met But the bayou still sings every night in my head Though I can't understand what it wants I love when it rains but I hate getting wet Never thought it'd be me that you'd haunt Can't remember your words Lafayette You said words didn't matter it's what's in your head But if you don't ask then you're bound not to guess Still know what you said wasn't wrong I can't turn a corner or walk down the street Without seeing your face come along Last born son yeah loaded gun You know I recall somebody saying There ain't no cowboys left But they ain't met me and they ain't met you Lafayette They ain't met me Lafayette Ooh ooh They ain't met you Lafayette The months march away Lafayette I hear it takes years for the heart to reset Yeah one of these days I'll be done with regret Didn't think it would take me this long Still sing Delta Dawn when I catch a sunset I remember how you loved that song Last born son yeah loaded gun You know I recall somebody saying There ain't no cowboys left But they ain't met me and they ain't met you Lafayette
