Lafayette

Hurry over and cry, 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 get

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

They ain't met you, Lafayette

The months march away, Lafayette

I hear it takes years for the heart to reset

Yeah, but 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
