I've seen those shining lights, I've seen those Hollywood Hills,
Aint nothing to that life, except glitter, drugs and pills,
Hey hey~ take me back to L.A,

Now anyone can be an actress, 
You just act like you don't care,
I let people tell me what to eat, how to walk and what to wear,
Hey hey~ take me back to L.A,
~
Take me back to L.A~, and leave me there to stay~,
As soon as my feet touch that Sweet Southern Ground,
I'll kiss my Momma, hug my Daddy, I'm gonna be so happy,
Take me back to L.A~, 
I'm~ Louisiana bound,

Set shy South of Jackson, 
Just North of New Orleans,
There's a little town called Kentwood,
That's where I want to be,
Hey hey~ take me back to L.A,

Well my Daddy calls it Pootas, 
that's like saying 'I love you',
And there's a party down at the truck stop,
Hey hey~ take me back to L.A,

Take me back to L.A~, and leave me there to stay,
As soon as my feet touch that Sweet Southern Ground,
I'll kiss my Momma, hug my Daddy, I'm gonna be so happy,
Take me back to L.A~, 
I'm Louisiana bound,

(inst break)

L-O-U-I-S-IANA
Take me back, take me back, home to L.A...
L-O-U-I-S-IANA~
Take me back, take me back, home to L.A~

Hey-hey~, 
Hey-hey~,

You'll never be a stranger here,
We'll see you welcome till you're off,
Every day's a celebration,
Just like Mardi Gras,

Hey hey~ come on down to L.A,

Take me back to L.A~, and leave me there to stay,
As soon as my feet touch that Sweet Southern Ground,
I'll kiss my Momma, hug my Daddy, I'm gonna be so happy
Take me back to L.A~, 
I'm Louisiana bound.
