E 
I got your letter yesterday 

It sure sounds like a crazy place. 
A 
It’s good to hear you're getting settled in. 
B 
Everybody says hello. 

They always ask me where’d you go 
                                     E     B 
I show them all the pictures that you sent. 
E 
I laughed when I read the part 

About your little quoting chart 
A 
It would always remind me where you’re at. 
          B 
Have you found a cold Abita beer? 

Your sister wants a souvenir 
                                        E 
But I just wanna know when your coming back 




              A 
Here in Louisiana 
                        E 
You can smell the pecan pie 
                        A 
there's a pot of gumbo cookin 
                             B 
And the Saints, they've done alright. 
                         C# 
Tell those folks down in Georgia 
                        E 
That i said to treat you right. 
                             A 
I hope they know what they've got, 
                  B 
Im missing you a lot, 
              E 
Here in Louisiana 




E 
I saw old man Thibodeaux, 

He told me to let you know 
A 
He’s got a second cousin lives up there 
B 
Wasn't quite sure where it was 

Remembers that he took a bus. 
                                              E   B 
He seems to think there were buildings everywhere. 
E 
He said “country music’s hard to find 

There ain't nowhere to wet a line. 
A 
I can’t see why you’d wanna live like that. 
B 
But i know you’ve got dreams to chase, 

That are bigger than this little place. 
                                         E 
And i’ll be waiting if you ever do come back.
