Love In The Big Bayou

Lyric: Kevin Reardon & Tim Koerber; Music: Kevin Reardon; Copyright 2015

Verse
We met in a bar in New Orleans; she took me down Grand Isle way
Talked all night on a moonlit beach; I said, “Show me where the wild things play”
She laughed and pointed at her tattoo; it read ‘laissez les bon temps rouler’
Then she smiled and said, “Boy, if you wanna come with me, you’ll never be the same”

Chorus
We wake with a sigh to a Louisiana sunrise; drift down a lily pad creek
Hold hands in the sand as the gators float by; sip a little rum spiked tea
Soaking up the sunset underneath a cypress, watching the stars peak through
Dance by the bay to the rhythm of the rain
There’s a whole lotta sweet little love in the big bayou

Verse
This wasn’t my first love dance but steps down here ain’t tame
She took my hand; said, “Country man, backwaters are a new game”
Saw snakes and critters; ate strange food; wondered if I’d got in a mess
But when I looked in her eyes, I knew I was born to be with her, and then she said

Chorus
Let’s wake with a sigh to a Louisiana sunrise; drift down a lily pad creek
Hold hands in the sand as the gators float by; sip a little rum spiked tea
Soaking up the sunset underneath a cypress, watching the stars peak through
Dance by the bay to the rhythm of the rain
There’s a whole lotta sweet little love in the big bayou

Bridge
Maybe she cast a spell on me; she do the voodoo, too
But I don’t mind; she’s my delta dream and there’s nothing I’d rather do than

Chorus
Wake with a sigh to a Louisiana sunrise; drift down a lily pad creek
Hold hands in the sand as the gators float by; sip a little rum spiked tea
Soaking up the sunset underneath a cypress, watching the stars peak through
Dance by the bay to the rhythm of the rain
There’s a whole lotta sweet little; whole lotta sweet little
Whole lotta sweet little love in the big bayou in the big bayou
Love in the big bayou
