When You Live Down Here
Words and Music by F. Gonzales, T. Gonzales

We got crawfish boiling in a big old pot
Corn and potatoes and we like it hot
Suck the heads and you squeeze the tips
You know it don't get no better than this

When you live down here, When you live down here,
When you wake up in the morning with a Dixie beer
That's the way it is When you live down here

Once a year you know it's Mardi Gras time
Three weeks of parties and plenty of wine
No where else will you ever see
A woman lift her shirt for a pair of beads

When you live down here, When you live down here,
When you live down here, When you live down here,
When you wake up in the morning with a Dixie beer
That's the way it is When you live down here

Just a few miles west of the big easy
There a place I know know called the Cajun Country
They got Alligators and Cypress trees
And everybody says AAYYYEEEEEEE

When you live down here, When you live down here,
When you wake up in the morning with a Dixie beer
That's the way it is When you live down here

For 38 years we've had a football team
And going to the Super bowl was everyone's dream
We wear Black and Gold and drink plenty of beer
And everybody say's JUST WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR

When you live down here, When you live down here,
When you live down here, When you live down here,
When you wake up in the morning with a Dixie beer
That's the way it is When you live down here
