SUNSET ON LOUISIANNE written by Zachary Richard and Bryan Stolz
When I was young and full of dreams My whole life in front of me But things aren't always what they seem Some dreams don't come true
The future so bright so everyone said I made more money than my papa ever did It was the answer for which I had prayed When the industry come to town
I married a girl from Pauche Bridge We raised a family of Cajun kids Nobody did better than we did But things can always change
My papa'd been a trapper living hand to mouth When I made shop foreman, I had it all figured out I thanked God each and every day When the industry come to town
Sunset on Louisianne The sun goin' down on the promised land I've given you everything I can I got nothing left to lose
My sister lost her baby premature And my papa got that sickness that ain't got no cure But what they told us down at the plant We cannot be sure
My boy went to college down in Baton Rouge He came back talkin' 'bout the old bayou Sure the fish don't bite like they used to Since the industry come to town
Sunset on Louisianne The sun goin' down on the promised land I've given you everything I can I got nothing left to lose
Smokestacks burnin' on the river From New Orleans to Baton Rouge How can I go on believing When they won't tell me the truth?
I took my grandson fishing down at Caminida Pass I hope that some of this beauty will last But Lord, it's changin' so damn fast Each and every day
I love the river and I love the swamp The snowy egret and the great bullfrog But they're harder to find, one and all Since the industry come to town
Sunset on Louisianne The sun goin' down on the promised land I've given you everything I can I got nothing left to lose
I've given you everything I can I got nothing left to lose Since the industry come to town
