Verse 1
Louisiana, crossed the river from
New
Orleans
To a mother with a husband
doing sex and dungarees
He was running as soon as he could walk,
mostly from the cops
He was dealin'
X and gave
R's when they finally got popped
Judge laid out the choices one
through three when he said
That it's the
Army or it's jail or it's windin' up dead
So he traded in his mullet, earrings,
jackknife, and bandana
And the
Army made a little room for
Private
Louisiana
Say,
F#m
God got a lot of love for this boy
D

An d by rights, he should be dead

Well, he's lived more
A
lives than a junkyard time

He got a bullet trapped in his hand
Bm
Well, he landed back in
D
Louisiana, but he didn't stay for long
G
He found a laundry list of en emies,
D
but all his friends were gone
Bm
So he hopped a ride to
California with someone else's lady
D

All the while he sucking on
a crack -pock -pocker, baby

He hit the streets with his hood up over hair,
Metallica on the

Someone offered him a couch for
the night cause he had a call
D

D
Bm
Well, got himself a job as a
groom down at the track
All the while stealing bits
of tackle for crack
And things kept getting tighter
and he was getting rattled
And the shed finally hit the fan
when he tried to steal a saddle
So he grabbed a train to
F#m
Fresno, swearing that he'd get clean

He spent five months on a horse farm,

But she had a crazy accent
A
A son from when they were together

E
F#m
He said hello and cocked his hammer
A
Bm
Eight months later,
A
our boy woke up with never thought it would happen
D
He was in the very same hospital
E
where his poor mother had him
Bm
He fell around his head for
A
some bandages to unwind
Bm
D
His mother said, honey,
there ain't none

I'm sorry, son, you're blind
Now

God got a lot of love for this boy

And he's a bullet trapped in his head

Bm
Well, it's been nearly
nine years now
F#m
And he's back across the river
And he's married with a son
Bm
And they're talking about a daughter
D
And he still likes his pie
Bm
But now he only smokes it green
And he lives in
