lyrics

There's nothing wrong with California cept for the dust and the haze.
There's nothing right about Louisiana anyways.
But there's something that pulls me back home,
Like a rope tied around my soul.
This bayou will always be my home cause Louisiana's where she stays.

So won't you stay and make this home tonight?
Won't you stay at least until the morning light?
Won't you stay when home seems so far away?
Won't you stay so I can be home tonight?

I can still recall the way the street lamps would light your face.
Sitting beside you if only for a while
While I tried so hard to coax just a single shy smile.
I used to lie alone at night and dream of a white picket fence life
Just you and me,
But now I know it was never meant to be
Like the make-believes of a child.

So won't you stay and make this home tonight?
Won't you stay at least until the morning light?
Won't you stay when home seems so far away?
Won't you stay so I can be home tonight?

Alone at night, when I can't sleep
I can't help but wonder if you still think of me.
In your new life, in your new scene,
Is it everything you dreamed it could be?
So I send out a request on the telephone line
For the DJ to play just one last time
That song we shared on those long bus rides
I think it still goes like...

won't you stay and make this home tonight?
Won't you stay when I don't know which way is right?
Won't you stay when home seems like just a dream?
Won't you stay?
So I can be home
So I can be home
So I can be home
So I can be home
So I can be home
So I can be home
So I can be home tonight?
