Louisiana Rain

Early 90s

Look at me standing here with make-up running down my face

Standing here a fool, too dumb to come in from the rain

Its been a long time now darlin’, since I felt the power of love

And the words you’re saying hit my face like a glove

 

Look at you standing there with love melted in your eyes

And I just don’t know what to say to make you realize

Its nothing that you’ve done, God only knows I feel the same

But baby when you heat me up I need that cool Louisiana rain

 

Take it slow and easy like a breeze down the river

I need to keep my senses, your love makes my poor heart quiver

And I don’t want to dive in so fast that I’ll never be found again

When you love me like you do give me that, cool Louisiana rain

     I used to date a man that lived across a fence from me. Sometimes at night, once my daughter was sleeping, I would walk out to the steps in front of our apartment door and play my guitar softly and write. He was out of town for work and I was missing him a little, but in a good mood. When I sat on those steps I could see over the fence to his appartment. I imagined that he came home early and jumped the fence to see me. That is what started the lyrics. I was still learning how to play blues style on my guitar. I started raining lightly and BAM ...the song came right out.
