Now, when I just was a little boy,
standin to my Daddy’s knee,
my poppa said «Son, don’t let the man get you
and do what he done to me.»
I can remember the fourth of July,
runnin' through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
chasin' down a hoodoo there,
chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Wish I was back on the Bayou,
rollin' with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin' I where a fast freight train,
just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
I can remember the fourth of July,
runnin' through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin',
chasin' down a hoodoo there,
chasin' down a hoodoo there.
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
This is a few years before my time, but I can’t help but think of running through the back corn field or playing in the creek with my dog as a kid, or swimming in the quarry with my friends in high school whenever I hear this song.
Creedance are insanely good. I have to confess something.When I was a kid I got invited to a house party and stole a cd labeled "Best of CCR" it had like 40 songs on it. I did it because I was a dumb kid. I ended up loving that CD so much. I felt so bad to think I had taken this CD from someone and tried to return it but couldnt find the house. So if anyone in the northwest suburbs of chicago is missing this CD.. Ill bring it over.
