Ouachita Wind

Fourth of July coming in hot

Catfish frying in a pot

Grandma baking cookies with a cigarette

Crawdaddy down in the creek

Wash your hands before you eat

Later on get a cone from the Dairyette

Hear it blowing through the pine trees

Comes around like a good old friend

Taste so sweet just like a memory

It’s that Ouachita wind

Liquor store up in Crystal Springs

Should have everything that you need

On the way home stop at a firework tent

Have ourselves a damned ol’ time

Dance on the ceiling and drink cheap wine

Sing along to a Jimmy Buffet tape cassette

Hear it blowing through the pine trees

Comes around like a good old friend

Taste so sweet just like a memory

It’s that Ouachita wind

Everything just keeps a changing

No matter how hard we pretend

Only thing that stays the same is

That Ouachita wind

Hear it blowing through the pine trees

Comes around like a good old friend

Taste so sweet just like a memory

It’s that Ouachita wind
