LYRICS
I was headed for a night on my own -- just me and the town alone
When I literally ran into him outside Tom Waits at the Orpheum
and that southern drawl it drew me in
That boy from down the Bayou

We struck up a conversation at that -- just like you would strike a match
Just like you would to start a fire between two souls sitting at the bar
Where with every word the flames crept higher
That boy from down the Bayou

We were dancing at The Yale when we kissed -- 12 bar blues can lead to this
But southern birds have to fly home, I said we better leave well enough alone
But he called my name and I called his own
My boy from down the Bayou

That's how he became my favourite phone call -- he was my favourite phone call
He was exactly what I needed then, what all the horses and all the King's men couldn't do he did single handed
That boy from down the Bayou

Anywhere in Canada is so far from Louisiana, so far from where we started
I gotta let you go now that I caught you
But I'm grateful that I got to get you know you and hold on to you
My boy from down the Bayou

Goodbye you, goodbye you, goodbye and thank you boy from down the Bayou
