Lafayette Blues

Lo-lo-lost my mind

Walking down Brad Boulevard, in the middle of the road

Flagging down cars

Trying to catch a ride

October 1975

A red pickup truck stopped and picked me up

We took off and I felt stuck

Anyway you tell you whats playing on your radio

She drove me further than a sleigh

That I've never been on before

And I never get a chance to leave

"My life had been just fine

My husband made it back from Vietnam alive

But he had a new love

In a form of a drug

She loved me too

I got the Lafayette blues"

In the pickup and shoot me up

I fell down

I never got up

Seasons in the Sun was playing on your home stereo

As fell down further in the black hole

That I never been in before

And I never get a chance to leave

I started working out in the street

I walk with an unsteady beat

Lafayette blues

Lafayette blues

Lafayette

Lafayette

Lafayette

Lafayette, Lafayette blues
