Louisiana Rain

(by tom petty)
Producers for bonnie: robin geoffrey cable, ronnie scott, steve wolfe
Well it was out in california
By the san diego sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah it nearly drove me crazy
cause I felt I had no choice
Yeah it seemed that I was only marking time
With all those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And Im noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach baton rouge
South carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on a lonely street
And I still cant quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
But thank God for this long neck bottle
The angels remedy
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach baton rouge
Well I never will get over
This english refugee
Singing to the juke box in some
All-nite beanery
Yeah he was eating hard rock candy
And chasing it with tea
You should have seem him lick his lips
When he looked up at me
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And Im noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach baton rouge

Louisiana Rain

Well it was out in california by the san diego sea
That was when i was taken in by an aging boardwalk queen
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those china toys
And i know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing a change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge
South carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on baker street
And it was just some mean old poison, that i took up my nose
Thank god for a love that follows the angels and the whores
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge
Well i never will get over this english refugee
Singing to the jukebox in the all night beanery
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing the change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

Callin Baton Rouge

I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in louisiana
And though Im out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin every hundred miles
Callin baton rouge
A replay of last nights events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin baton rouge
(chorus)
Operator wont you put me on through
I gotta send my love down to baton rouge
Hurry up wont you put her on the line
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time.
Hello samantha dear, I hope youre feelin fine
And it wont be long until Im with you all the time
But until then Ill spend my money up right down to my last dime
Callin baton rouge.
*chorus*
Callin baton rouge
Sweet baton rouge, my baton rouge

Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through cleard down to plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of evangelne
Chorus
Louisiana, louisiana
Theyre tyrin to wash us away
Theyre tryin to wash us away
Louisiana, louisiana
Theyre tryin to wash us away
Theyre tryin to wash us away
President coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The president say, little fat man isnt it a shame what the river has
Done
To this poor crackers land.
Chorus

Down Louisiana Way

[chorus]
Im goin down louisiana way
Im going back as of this very day
Dont worry about me cause Ill be okay
Im goin down louisiana way
I will miss all my old chicago friends
And think about you san francisco now and then
I will remember my compadres in l.a.
Look me up down louisiana way
[chorus]
Dont let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around for me to go
I will miss you
So long friend, quess Ill see you while ago
I might be back sometime, you just never know
I have left a sweetheart north of whiskey bay
True love waits down louisiana way

Rain... Rain... Rain...!

Rain on tinned roof
Rain on concrete
Rain soaking into sands
Rain on soft earth
Rain on metal road
Rain on windscreen

Rain falling into the sea
Rain in the river

Rain on flowers
Rain on leaves
Rain under trees
Rain on hills

Rain on my skin…

Each with its own unique raga
Reverberates across the sky
On to the earth…

Rain,rain

Why am I here if youre there
So far away its not fair
To be without you like this
I miss you more than you know
The nights are long
The days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss
Wish you were back here with me
Cause out my window
All is see is
Rain , rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain , rain fallin down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain , rain in my heart
Every day that were apart
Rain , rain
Falling rain , rain
Rain , rain
Only rain , rain
The sun is strong when youre near
But when youre gone it disappears
Behind an ocean of blue
The telephones not good enough
It cant reach out it cant touch
Me like the way you do
Wish you would knock at my door
Cause only you can stop the pouring
Rain , rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain , rain fallin down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain , rain in my heart
Every day that were apart
Rain , rain
Falling rain , rain
Rain , rain
Only rain , rain
Maybe ill go outside
And walk beneath the clouds
Pretend its you thats watching over me
This isnt the only thing that comes
Between us now
Baby soon well be together
Oooo
( everywhere I look I see rain )
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Everywhere I look I see rain
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( rain , rain in the sky )
( everywhere I look my eyes see rain )
Rain
( rain falling down )
Down
( crying as it hits the ground )
Dont , dont let it hit the ground
( rain , rain in my heart everyday that were apart )
( rain , rain )
Rain
( falling rain, rain )
Rain
( rain, rain )
Everywhere I look I see rain
Everywhere I look I see rain
But I dont see you
Youre not near me
I need you ooo
Rain
Itll never be the same
If you dont stop the rain

Rolling Thunder

(pal waaktaar/mags)
Its the weight below us
And our fate before us
Like a rolling thunder
Rolling up from under
Dont ever leave this way
I know its getting harder, but hey
If your world should crumble, yeah
And the rain gets in
Running through your skin
Soaking you outside in
The rain ... see it falling
But I dont know how long it will be
Until the storms over
But Ill wait
I will
Like the years of silence
To the growing violence
Like a rolling thunder
Rolling up from under
Dont ever leave me this way
Wait a little longer, yeah, stay
Through all the night I tumble, yeah
When the rain comes in
I will shed my skin
Losing it from within
See the rain ... its falling
But I wont be leaving your side
Until all is over
Ill wait
I will
So many lifetimes youve been waiting for it
All through the good times when you tried to ignore it
You hesitate
Its come too late
You hear the sound
Of when wheels engage
When the rain comes in
I will shed my skin
Losing it from within

L'Air De La Louisiane

Promenade dans un bois la vielle Louisiane
Les ombres lougnes nos pas silents
l'air de la Louisiane
Toi et moi ne parlant pas
en sucant d'la canne
Pour un instant je suis content en
l'air de la Louisiane
Pour un instant je suis content en
l'air de la Louisiane
English Lyric
A walk in the woods of old Louisiana
the shadows are long
Our steps are silent in the Louisiana air
You and I say nothing as we suck sugar cane
For one minute I'm happy in the Louisiana air

The Sun & The Rain

Its raining again,
Im hearing its pitter patter down.
Its wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing I have to do, have to do.
Its raining again,
I follow the christmas lights down town.
Im leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
Round and round,
I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.
Just walking along,
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,
I havent a doubt, that this is what life is all about,
The sun and the rain.
Scraps of paper(? ? ? ) washing down the drain.
I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.
Its raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
Ive been feeling so low(low)
But now everything is on my side
The sun and the rain.
Walk with me fill my heart again
I hear the rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.
I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.
Do de do do de do do do
Do de do de do de do do do

Soft Clear Rain

Soft clear rain is falling
All over our fair town
Soft clear rain is falling
Washing the mean streets down

Soft clear rain is falling
Soaking into the concert drive
Soft clear rain is falling
Keeping things alive

Soft clear rain is falling

Raise your voice, stake your claim

Rain Tears

Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Melding in torrential fears:
Chill of cloud; saddened eye-
In either way, a latent cry.

Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Married under sceptic jeers:
‘They'll never last.' Methinks not true, for
Either way, forever blue.

Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Simple love with lacy cares,
Their intercourse will ne'er refrain
From rain and tears and tears and rain.

Rain Oh Rain

As I walk in this rain
I start pondering
Oh how I wish life was easy
Oh how I wish there was no complications in life

If only I could walk in this rain everyday
Rain oh rain
Oh how you calm my troubled mind
You fill me with a sense of belonging 
As if I was meant to be in the rain
Meant to love and become friends with it
As if I wasn't meant to fear it
Wasn't meant to look down upon it

As I continue wandering in this rain
I continue to enjoy the raindrops falling upon me
Soaking me from head to toe

I continue on marching thru the rain
With my hair sticking to the back of my neck  from all the rain
And my light blue skinny jeans now dark blue from all this beautiful rain
While my big comfy t-shirt has those graceful raindrops dripping off of it
Though I'm not complaining
Never would I complain about this
For I don't care if I'm wet
Nope not at all
Doesn't matter if I'm just a little bit
Or if I'm soaking wet

I'm walking thru this rain
Not knowing where I'm going
Or when this rain will stop
Hopefully it's not any time soon

Oh rain 
Rain oh rain
Please don't stop
Don't slow down
Don't become anything that's close to a drizzle
Just continue on pouring down 
That rain of yours

Rain, rain, rain
I love these rain showers
To go walking in one 
Is to set your mind free
To let go of your worries
And to let go of your complications in life

Rain oh rain
You alone
Give me the wings to fly 
To fly 
To explore unknown regions

Rain 
Your the one and only
Who has set my mind free

Monroe Louisiana

On the green, green farm
In green, green Monroe Louisiana
So green, green
Wet-luscious green and alive
So green after the rain
So bright green and clean
Just passing through
On my way to tomorrow
But so green today and yesterday
It was on that stranger's green, green farm
And I didn't stay long
And I didn't expect someone
To fire that shotgun right next to me
The barrel pointed out the front door
Into that green, green world beyond.
There were hot springs
On the green, green farm
In green, green Monroe Louisiana
Back in 1973.

Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight

(rodney crowell/donivan cowart)
Mary took to running with a travelin man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She say momma, I got to go, I gotta get outta here
I gotta get out of town; Im tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches
Its just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and around nobody knows, but the highway
Goes on forever, that ol highway rolls on forever
Lord she never wouldve done it if she hadnt got drunk
If she hadnt started running with a travelin man
If she hadnt started taking those crazy changes
She say daughter, let me tell you bout the travelin kind
Everywhere hes goin such a very short time
Hell be long gone before you know it, hell be long
Gone before you know it
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland, anything goes
Its alligator bait and the bars dont close
Its the real thing down in louisiana
Did you ever see a cajun when he really got mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets real hot down in louisiana
The stranger better move it or hes gonna get killed
Hes gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It aint no time for lengthy speeches
There aint no time for lengthy speeches
She say never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving louisiana in the broad daylight
Its just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and around nobody knows, but the highway goes on forever
There aint no way to stop the water

One More Time

Im going way down south to louisiana, tonight
Well, Ill just close my eyes
And everythings alright
And though Im really far away
Ill make my get away
And no one need really
Know that Ive been gone
One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all we had
Im going way down south to baton rouge
Well, Ill just close the door
And turn out all the lights
And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
Back home where things are slow
And easy going
One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all
When love was all
When love was all we had
One more time

Anybody who spends time off of Louisiana's shores can recognize that these oysters are not endangered. To classify them as such risks great harm to not only fishermen who make their living collecting oysters in the Gulf, but also to Louisiana's economy in total.
