James Mcmurtry Bayou Tortue Lyrics

Got a idea tell you what let's do
Let's go out to that place on the Turtle Bayou
We'll maybe get lucky, maybe get shot
It couldn't be half of the trouble I got

Turtle Bayou turn around
Turtle Bayou turn around

Just another night with the missus and me
Settin' on the couch watchin' Court TV
Lemme tell you son it can sure get real
If you ever get to thinkin' it's a done deal

Turtle Bayou Turn Around
Get your big feet up off the ground
Turtle Bayou Turn Around
We'll pass a good time out past the lights of town
She comes from the land of the Bois d'Arc tree
Scotts Irish and Cherokee
She comes down here when the Northers blow
'Cause she don't care for the ice and snow

(Full Chorus)

Take my hand Oklahoma Jane
One little dance wouldn't hurt a thing
Now it's noon I'm rolling up the drive
And I ain't even got a decent lie

Doesn't everybody get that way sometimes
I was lookin' at every woman but mine
I was lookin' at the faces, lookin' at the parts
Lookin' through the hole in the bottom of my heart

(Full Chorus)
