E
I got your letter yesterday
It sure sounds like a crazy place.
A
It’s good to hear you're getting settled in.
B
Everybody says hello.
They always ask me where’d you go
E B
I show them all the pictures that you sent.
E
I laughed when I read the part
About your little quoting chart
A
It would always remind me where you’re at.
B
Have you found a cold Abita beer?
Your sister wants a souvenir
E
But I just wanna know when your coming back
A
Here in Louisiana
E
You can smell the pecan pie
A
there's a pot of gumbo cookin
B
And the Saints, they've done alright.
C#
Tell those folks down in Georgia
E
That i said to treat you right.
A
I hope they know what they've got,
B
Im missing you a lot,
E
Here in Louisiana
E
I saw old man Thibodeaux,
He told me to let you know
A
He’s got a second cousin lives up there
B
Wasn't quite sure where it was
Remembers that he took a bus.
E B
He seems to think there were buildings everywhere.
E
He said “country music’s hard to find
There ain't nowhere to wet a line.
A
I can’t see why you’d wanna live like that.
B
But i know you’ve got dreams to chase,
That are bigger than this little place.
E
And i’ll be waiting if you ever do come back.
