Louisiana back road, cajun lagoon,
I got bourbon on the brain and I smell like perfume.
Well, I spent last night with a voodoo queen.
She had a smile like a reptile and eyes like James Dean.
I got Zydeco on the radio and thereâs only one place that I want to go.
Well, I drive down past that burnt out church,
Take a left turn at that gallows birch.
I met a man at the crossroads dressed in black,
Heâs got a cane made of silver and a smile full of gaps.
He says, âboy I know what you came here forâ,
And he took me by the hand and lead me right up to the door to get
Chorus:
Hog backs, pigs feet and black-eyed peas,
Her grits and gravy make me fall to my knees.
I need a big plate of ribs thatâll stick to mine,
Corn on the cob and watermelon wine.
I want some fuel for my spirit gonna get me some,
Down at Lady Lucyâs Soulfood Emporium.
Well, sheâs a big bad mamma with her hair in a net.
Sheâs got a smile like a piano and I just bet
That if you ask real nice sheâll show you her tattoos.
She got one on her shoulder that says âborn to loseâ.
Sheâs got one on her heart of a black angel in blue,
Cookinâ dinner for sinners like me and you.
Chorus
Well if you got the cravinâ buddy, if you got the need,
You put the pedal to the metal and pick up that speed.
For fresh blackberry pie and pink lemonade to wash it down,
Lord I was lost, but now Iâm found.
Bless us our lord and these thy gifts,
That have left this shine on my smilinâ lips.
I been newly baptized in your bar-b-cue sauce,
Born again and come down from the cross.
For salvation from the crematorium
Go to Lady Lucyâs Soulfood Emporium.
