Louisiana Gold Lyrics

Chords Used:
He came from Northern California
He loved to ride them trains
He had a hand made beat up leather bag where he kept all his childhood pains
Left his mama and his daddy, When he was barely 16
You know he never really followed money, Never really had a dream
Loved the thought of drifting
to live by no mans plan
solitude is freedom, yeah
The road made him a man
From coast to coast across every state, on Pacific Illinois
He saw every town he every town dreamt about since he was a little boy
He ended up down in New Orleans working on a folsom farm
He took LSD and danced all night, you know he met a woman that made him calm
Loved the thought of drifting
to live by no mans plan
solitude is freedom, yeah
The road made him a man
Somewhere deep inside of him changed when he saw her face
yeah he felt like she knew him well from another time and place
you know they woke up with the sun one day and their travelin' days were done
settled down in a shotgun house, down on bayou St. John
Loved the thought of drifting
To live by no mans land
Solitude is freedom, yeah
The road made him a man
**Instrumental Break**
Ride that river on to Mississippi soul (X3)
And if you wind that river long enough you get Louisiana gold
you get Louisiana gold (x3)
