That Was Your Mother - Gui Boratto Remix

Lyrics

A long time ago
 Before you was born
 When I was still single
 And life was great
 I held this job as a travelling salesman
 That kept me moving from state to state
 Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
 State of Louisiana
 Wondering where a city boy could go
 To get a little conversation
 Drink a little red wine
 Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
 Dancing to Zydeco
 ♪
 Along come a young girl
 She's pretty as prayerbook
 Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
 I said good gracious, can this be my luck?
 If that's my prayerbook
 Lord let us pray
 Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
 State of Louisiana
 Wondering what a city boy could do
 To get her in a conversation
 Drink a little red wine
 Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
 The King of the Bayou
 ♪
 Well, that was your mother
 And that was your father
 Before you was born dude
 When life was great
 You are the burden of my generation
 I sure do love you
 But let's get that straight
 Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
 Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
 Maybe get a little conversation
 Drink a little red wine
 Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
 Dancing the night away
 That's right
