Oh boy, Friday's here again
Gotta wake up and get my eight hours in
I'm so tired tryin' to get to work on time
But I'm smiling 'cause tonight is gonna be so fine.
When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise
Into a purple bayou sky
Ain't it good to be alive, deep in Louisiana
Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night
Where people dance till the morning light
Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
Oh me, how the noontime sun beats down
Oh, I feel the heat rise off the ground
I keep working and the time goes dragging by
So I daydream about how it's gonna be tonight.
When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise
Into a purple bayou sky
Ain't it good to be alive, deep in Louisiana

Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night
Where people dance till the morning light
Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
You'll find we don't have much time for tears
And your lonely blues are just gonna disappear.
When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise
Into a purple bayou sky
Ain't it good to be alive, deep in Louisiana
Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night
Where people dance till the morning light
Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana.
I say deep, deep, deep in Louisiana...
