Paroles de The only reason

Four-thirty a.m., july 28,
In the middle of a storm, never touching the brake,
I drove like a bat outta hell,
Down that lonely ol' four-lane.

With the bright lights of houston just fadin' behind,
My tires tearin' up the road t'ward the state-line.
I was leavin' the great lone star state,
That i loved, for good.

For the love of a good woman who lives in louisiana,
On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair.
And when i get there, i'm gonna get down on one knee,
'cause wherever she is, boy, that's home for me.
Don't get me wrong:
Love's the only reason i'd ever leave texas;
She's the only reason i'd ever stay gone.

Just about baton rouge, i was changin' my mind,
Thinkin' 'bout all the things i'd be leavin' behind.
Like a red river sunrise,
And the stars on a galveston night.

For the love of a good woman who lives in louisiana,
On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair.
And when i get there, i'm gonna get down on one knee,
'cause wherever she is, boy, that's home for me.
Don't get me wrong:
Love's the only reason i'd ever leave texas;
An' she's the only reason i'd ever stay gone.

Like a long lonely night,
Wonderin' where i'd spend the rest of my life.
Gone, like an old tumbleweed,
Rollin' his way a place he can't find to call home.

Instrumental break.

For the love of a good woman who lives in louisiana,
On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair.
And when i get there, i'm gonna get down on one knee,
'cause wherever she is, boy, that's home for me.
Don't get me wrong:
Love's the only reason i'd ever leave texas;
An' she's the only reason i'd ever stay gone.

Love's the only reason i'd ever leave texas;
An' you're the only reason i'd ever stay gone.

Instrumental fade.
