Lyrics:
I was thinkin of you when the rice birds flew,
When the false dawn came with morning dew
You're a thunderstorm ragin outside my garage,
You're the white shirt peekin through my camouflage.
I was thinkin of you and I wont forget,
Tail of of the turtle and bayou teche,
I cannot dance but can hang on,
to some sweet memory down in Oberlin
I was thinkin a you at the mardi gras,
Fords and Chevys like I never saw,
I wish you were there to dance with me,
And to hear that Cajun symphony.
I was thinkin a ayou aat the LA bar,
Got so drunk I couldn't drive my car,
I was dreamin about you with my 10 ounce beer,
Dreamin sweet daydreams wishin you were here.
Well I was thinkin a you with the braids in your hair,
It was down in Houston but it coulda been anywhere,
I was dreamin about you with my changin ways,
And I still think about ya in my travelin days.
Well I was thinkin a you where the sunset glows,
Down the Mississippi River where the gulf wind blows,
I was dreamin about you in the Fluer-de-lis,
I was wishin you were next to me.
