Back To Bayou Teche

Landreth
 The wind tonight ain't all that cries
 Leaves like tears fall outside
 She knows I'm blowing with the season change
 Looking at me and I hear her say:
 Lay, chere, just a little bit longer
 You'll be gone so long out West
 Stay, chere, just a little bit longer
 Do pass back to Bayou Teche
 The wheel I turn ain't all that moans
 Crossing this levee road alone
 The gravel I bust and the dust I breathe
 Wont shake her haunting words to me:
 Lay, chere, just a little bit longer
 You'll be gone so long out West
 Stay, chere, just a little bit longer
 Do pass back to Bayou Teche
 The road I'm on ain't all that bends
 My will is breaking down again
 The Gulf of Mexico to Monterey Bay
 Till I turn myself around I'm gonna hear her say:
 Lay, chere, just a little bit longer
 You'll be gone so long out West
 Stay, chere, just a little bit longer
 Do pass back to Bayou Teche
 Lay, chere, just a little bit longer
 You'll be gone so long out West
 Stay, chere, just a little bit longer
 And do pass back to Bayou Teche
