Jerry Jeff Walker, John Inmon, Keith Sykes
Oh these days, I`m a nervous wreck,
Trying to live my life so politically correct
Don`t smoke here, don`t you stand over there
Drink bottled water, don`t you breathe the air
World`s so crowded, you can`t hardly move
Everybody telling you what to do
People relax, give each other room
Let me tell you what all the Cajuns like to do
Chorus:
Down in Louisiana, it don`t matter
If you`re sane as a judge, mad as a hatter
People down there, they don`t ever stay blue
Cause they just ate or they`re fixin` to
They party all night, it makes you feel right
The Big Easy knows that you just gotta let go
Skinny or fatter, natty or tattered
Down in Louisiana, it don`t matter
Down in Louisiana, it don`t matter
Let me tell you how it is in New Orleans
Life revolves around a lot of rice and beans
They like to share a laugh and tell you what they mean
They always have a smile on their face for everyone they meet
Live and let live is the way that they do
Have the neighbors over for some alligator stew
Crawfish etoufee, Rockin` Doopsie plays
Next thing you know all your troubles fly away
Chorus (x2)
