The Only Reason Lyrics - Singles - Rockie Lynne

4:30 a.m. July 28 

In the middle of a storm, never touchin' the brake 

I drove like a bat outta hell 

Down that lonely ol' four lane 

With the bright lights of Houston just fadin' behind 

My tires tearin' up the road toward the state line 

I was leavin' the great Lone Star state 

That I loved for good 

For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana 

On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair 

And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee 

'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me 

Don't get me wrong 

Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas 

She's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone 

Just about Baton Rouge, I was changin' my mind 

Thinkin' 'bout all the things I'd be leavin' behind 

Like a Red River sunrise 

And the stars on a Galveston night 

For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana 

On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair 

And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee 

'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me 

Don't get me wrong 

Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas 

An' she's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone 

Like a long lonely night 

Wonderin' where I'd spend the rest of my life 

Gone like an old tumbleweed 

Rollin' his way to a place he finally call home 

For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana 

On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair 

And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee 

'Cause wherever she is boy that's home for me 

Don't get me wrong 

Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas 

An' she's the only reason, I'd ever stay gone 

Love's the only reason, I'd ever leave Texas 

An' you're the only reason, I'd ever stay gone
