I woke up early this morning
Realizing what I'd done
Left my dream in Chicago
Packed my bags, off the bus And I'd run
People say I'm just a little bit crazy
And always having too much pride
No man change the way I am
After twenty years it's do or must die
Doncha know that my daddy taught me well
Said son have your own piece of mind
You know I do, yes I do, yes I do
Lousiana Man, livin on his southern pride
Lousiana man, livin on his southern pride
Oh yeah that record man
Says he'll make a big star outta me
Gonna give me that big fine bus
With all those luxuries
I'm doing gigs in every city
Cross this mighty fine U S of A
But that damn ol record man Never worried about my pay
Doncha know that my daddy taught me well
Said son have your own piece of mind
You know I do, yes I do, yes I do
So I hit that southbound road
Lord, I left those rock star dreams behind
Lousiana Man, livin on his southern pride
Lousiana man, livin on his southern pride
(I'm standing up for what I believe in)
Doncha know that my daddy taught me well
Said son have your own piece of mind
You know I do, yes I do, yes I do
So I hit that South bound road
Lord, I left those rock star dreams behind
Lousiana Man, livin on his southern pride
Lousiana man, livin on his southern pride
(Sometimes that's all you got, man)
