Lyrics
A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT

VS. 1
DRINKIN' TENNESSEE WHISKEY FROM A MASON JAR
DIDN'T THINK I'D GO AND FALL APART
YOU HAD TO LEAVE AND FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
THOSE CITY LIGHTS AIN'T ALL THEY SEEM
YOU COULD BE IN LOVIN' COMFORT
I NEED YOU, ... ON THE BAYOU TONIGHT
CHORUS
AND I'M STILL THINKIN' ABOUT IT
HOW I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I SHOULD'A HELD ON TIGHTER
IN THOSE LOUISIANA NIGHTS
WHEN WE WERE KNEE DEEP IN THE BAYOU
NOW I JUST CAN'T FORGET YOU
I'LL LEAVE THE PORCH LIGHT ON
I NEED YOU, ... FOR A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT
VS. 2
WE USED TO HANG ON SATURDAYS
HAVIN' OUR OWN CAJUN HOLIDAY
LOVIN' N'AWLINS SHRIMP CREOLE
TOGETHER WE WERE ROCK AND ROLL
PRETTY DANCIN' WARM BROWN EYES
I FELT THE HURT, WHEN YOU SAID GOODBYE
CHORUS
AND I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT
HOW I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I SHOULD'A HELD ON TIGHTER
IN THOSE LOUISIANA NIGHTS
WHEN WE WERE KNEE DEEP IN THE BAYOU
NOW I JUST CAN'T FORGET YOU
I'LL LEAVE THE PORCH LIGHT ON
I NEED YOU, ... FOR A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT
FOR A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT
BRIDGE
COULD'A BEEN MY BAD BOY IMAGE, COULD'A BEEN MY SLY WINK
THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND THINGS CAUSIN' YOU TO THINK
THAT I WASN'T READY ...
CHORUS
AND I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT
HOW I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I SHOULD'A HELD ON TIGHTER
IN THOSE LOUISIANA NIGHTS
WHEN WE WERE KNEE DEEP IN THE BAYOU
NOW I JUST CAN'T FORGET YOU
I'LL LEAVE THE PORCH LIGHT ON, YEAH
AND I'M STILL THINKING ABOUT IT
HOW I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I SHOULD'A HELD ON TIGHTER
IN THOSE LOUISIANA NIGHTS
WHEN WE WERE KNEE DEEP IN THE BAYOU
NOW I JUST CAN'T FORGET YOU
I'LL LEAVE THE PORCH LIGHT ON
I NEED YOU, ... FOR A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT
FOR A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT
FOR A BAYOU KIND OF NIGHT
