Louisiana Rain

I see a barefoot boy down an old dirt road
 A little ole' shotgun house with a wood burning stove
 It had a rusted tin roof and broken window panes
 I used to fall asleep to the Louisiana rain
 We would go to church people came from miles around
 To sing those gospel songs have dinner on the ground
 The years they come and go but memories remain
 And lately I've had dreams of the Louisiana rain
 And the freight train blows somewhere in the night
 And it's a lonesome thing to know I've left it all so far behind
 I've got to get my life back simple and plain
 'Cause lately I've had dreams of the Louisiana rain
 I've got to get myself back simple and plain
 'Cause lately I've had dreams of the Louisiana rain
 Lately I've had them ole' dreams of the Louisiana rain
