bayou tortous

got a idea tell you what let's do

let's go out to that place on the turtle bayou

we'll maybe get lucky

maybe get shot

it couldn't be half of the trouble i got

turtle bayou turn around

turtle bayou turn around

just another night with the missus and me

settin' on the couch watchin' court tv

lemme tell you son it can sure get real

if you ever get to thinkin' it's a done deal

turtle bayou turn around

get your big feet up off the ground

turtle bayou turn around

we'll pass a good time out past the lights of town

she comes from the land of the bois d'arc tree

scotts irish and cherokee

she comes down here when the northers blow

'cause she don't care for the ice and snow

take my hand oklahoma jane

one little dance wouldn't hurt a thing

now it's noon i'm rolling up the drive

and i ain't even got a decent lie

doesn't everybody get that way sometimes

i was lookin' at every woman but mine

i was lookin' at the faces

lookin' at the parts

lookin' through the hole in the bottom of my heart
