The Bayou Bandits - Take Me Back Lyrics

It's been ten long years, since your sun has shined my face
Since I made my way out west, since I been tied to fate
Here don't hold a candle, to that home I left behind
I need that southern comfort, to ease my troubled mind
Yeah
I hear people saying, you can't never go back home
I don't think they've ever lived this life I've come to know
This will be my resting place, no matter where I roam
So if I die before I get there, won't you send my body home

So take me back, take me back baby, where the child in me lives & breathes
Take me back, take me back honey, way out past New Orleans
Where it's dark at night, except the pale moonlight
Where the swamp plays a perfect scene
So Take me back, take me back momma, way out past New Orleans

It's been ten long years, since your sun has shined my face
Since I made my way out west, since I been tied to fate
Here don't hold a candle, to that home I left behind
I need that southern comfort, to ease my troubled mind

So take me back, take me back baby, where the child in me lives & breathes
Take me back, take me back honey, way out past New Orleans
Where it's dark at night, except the pale moonlight
Where the swamp plays a perfect scene
So Take me back, take me back momma, way out past New Orleans

Where the southern pride
It runs deep inside
So don't you tread on me Motherf*cker

So take me back, take me back baby, where the child in me lives & breathes
Take me back, take me back honey, way out past New Orleans
Where it's dark at night, except the pale moonlight
Where the swamp plays a perfect scene
So Take me back, take me back momma, way out past New Orleans
