|
When I was young and needed my time alone |
|
Jump in the pirogue, pole down the Bayou |
|
Bogafalaya River was dark and cold |
|
Seven years old, I couldn't find my way home |
|
Chorus: |
|
Old times, good times |
|
Old times, good times |
|
When I was twelve, I learned how to play the guitar |
|
Got myself a job in a jax beer bar |
|
Got myself together, went to New Orleans |
|
Found myself workin' for rice and beans |
|
Chorus |
|
New York City was so damned cold |
|
I had to get out of that town before I got old |
|
California, rock and roll dream |
|
Got too high and we blew our whole scene |
|
But we had a good time |
|
Chorus (x2) |
