Lynne Rockie - The Only Reason lyrics

4:30 a.m. July 28 In the middle of a storm, never touchin' the brake I drove like a bat outta hell Down that lonely ol' four lane With the bright lights of Houston just fadin' behind My tires tearin' up the road toward the state line I was leavin' the great Lone Star state That I loved for good For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee 'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me Don't get me wrong Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas She's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone Just about Baton Rouge, I was changin' my mind Thinkin' 'bout all the things I'd be leavin' behind Like a Red River sunrise And the stars on a Galveston night For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee 'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me Don't get me wrong Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas An' she's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone Like a long lonely night Wonderin' where I'd spend the rest of my life Gone like an old tumbleweed Rollin' his way to a place he finally call home For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee 'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me Don't get me wrong Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas An' she's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas An' you're the only reason, I'd ever stay gone
