Have you ever seen the sunset in Louisiana?

Sun so low you can see the shadow of a two inch cypress knee

Had a buddy of mine move down here from Indiana

"What made you move?" He said, "All this good food and the hospitality"

If you wanna live by me, a few things you gonna need

A couple of cold beers for me and my friends

Get pretty thirsty after reelin' them in

Good ol' bonfire to warm you up

After huntin' a 12-point buck

Need a back road in the middle of nowhere

Make this girl say, "How the hell did we get here?"

If you wanna know what's good for a country boy's soul

Couple of cold beers, a bonfire, and a back road

I took my lady for a joyride on the levee

She had a bottle of wine singin' Patsy Cline, lookin' pretty as she could be

Got the nerve to ask her if we could start goin' steady

She had her feet on my dash singin' Johnny Cash when she smiled and said to me

If you wanna be with me, a few things you gonna need

A couple of cold beers for me and my friends

Get pretty thirsty after reelin' them in

Good ol' bonfire to warm you up

After huntin' a 12-point buck

Need a back road in the middle of nowhere

Make this girl say, "How the hell did we get here?"

If you wanna know what's good for a country boy's soul

Couple of cold beers, a bonfire, and a back road

It's a simple life down here

Grab a cane pole, come and join us on this peer

And bring a couple of cold beers for me and my friends

We get pretty thirsty after reelin' them in

Good ol' bonfire to warm us up

After huntin' a 12-point buck

Need a back road in the middle of nowhere

Make the girls say, "How the hell did we get here?"

If you wanna know what's good for a country boy's soul

Couple of cold beers, a bonfire, and a back road

(Back road, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh yeah a back road

(Back road, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Won't you take me on a back road

(To the back road, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I said a back road

(Back road, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh won't you take me on a back road

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
