Going down south
Put a song in my mouth
Put a rip in my sleeve
Grass at my feet
A hand on my hip
With a gentleman’s grip
Oh, steady me

I’ll try not to lead
Oh, I’m learning to dance real slow
Oh, here it comes again
Heel toe, heel toe, heel toe
Down in the bayou
Man, they can hide you
Necks in the reeds swing in the breeze

But don’t mind you walk inside
To kitchen scenes and sweet harmonies
Oh, I’m learning to move as I go
Oh, here it comes again
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oooh, we move like the wind blows
Oooh, yeah a body knows

Hold on to me
Then set me free
Sweet lafayette
I feel like we’ve met
In a song, in a dream
A second-hand seam
Tight on the skin

We are where we’ve been
I’ve been way down but I’m back again
Oh, I’m learning to dance real slow
Oh, here it comes again
Heel toe, heel toe, heel toe
