Lyrics

When I hit the ground in the crescent town

Arriving in New Orleans, I park my car and open the windows.

I rent my car roll the windows down

The scent of the wetlands feels familiar and comforting.

The smell from the wetlands is home to me

Returning after a long absence.

I am finally back since I don’t know when

Rediscovering something or somewhere important.

It’s like finding your way to a long lost friend

Reconnecting with a long-lost friend or feeling a sense of reunion.

Down on the bayou is where I wanna be

Expressing a strong desire to be in the bayou area.

Down on the bayou

Yearning for the bayou.

Way down on the bayou

A repetition emphasizing the desire to be in the bayou.

Right there on the bayou is where I wanna be

Expressing a strong wish to be specifically in the bayou area.

Down on the bayou

A repetition emphasizing the desire to be in the bayou.

Way down on the bayou

Reiterating the longing to be in the bayou, specifically in New Orleans.

Right there on the bayou in New Orleans

Having saved money and made preparations to be in New Orleans.

I have saved every dime I’ve been working for

Changed personal details to align with New Orleans' area code.

Even changed my number to 504

Feeling liberated and fulfilled.

I got what I came for - Honey, I feel free

Describing the musical essence of the place.

Where the violin sing, the accordion is king

Highlighting the cooking of gumbo, a traditional dish.

The gumbo is cooking - it's coming right it in

Expressing a strong desire to be in the bayou.

Down on the bayou is where I wanna be

Yearning for the bayou.

Down on the bayou

A repetition emphasizing the desire to be in the bayou.

Way down on the bayou

Reiterating the longing to be in the bayou, specifically in New Orleans.

Right there on the bayou is where I wanna be

Sensing a prolonged stay in New Orleans.

Down on the bayou

Departing from the place of origin.

Way down on the bayou

Expressing uncertainty but enjoying the momentary experience.

Right there on the bayou in New Orleans

Desiring relaxation with Caribbean rum in the bayou.

I feel this time is gonna be a long time

Yearning for the bayou.

I've said goodbye to the place I’m from

Deep desire to be in the bayou.

I’m not sure if it’s right but in the meantime

Specifically wishing to be in New Orleans.

I’m gonna kick my feet up and take a zip of that Caribbean rum

Describing the atmosphere in New Orleans and the swamps.

Down on the bayou

Expressing excitement and anticipation.

Way down on the bayou

Reiterating the longing to be in the bayou.

Right there on the bayou is where I wanna be

Expressing a strong desire to be in the bayou.

Down on the bayou

A repetition emphasizing the desire to be in the bayou.

Way, way, way, way, way, way down y'all

Strong emphasis on the location, way down in the bayou.

Right there on the bayou

Specifically mentioning being in New Orleans.

Down in New Orleans - Down in the swamps

Expressing the joy and excitement of being in New Orleans and the swamps.

Here we go!
