Chords - v2

Lookin' at the devil, Grinnin' at his gun

Fingers start shakin', I begin to run

Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop

We begin to wrestle, I was on the top

I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Stiff all in the collar, Fluffy in the face

Chit chat chatter tryin', Stuffy in the place

Thank you for the party, But I could never stay

Many thangs is on my mind, Words in the way

Chorus

Dance to the music, All nite long

Everyday people, Sing a simple song

Mama's so happy, Mama start to cry

Papa still singin', You can make it if you try

Chorus (Different strokes for different folks, yeah)

Flamin' eyes of people fear, Burnin' into you

Many men are missin' much, Hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love, Dig it for a starter, now

Dyin' young is hard to take, Sellin' out is harder

When I was still SINGLE. And life was GREAT

I held this JOB as a traveling SALESman

That kept me MOVING from STATE to state

Well, I'm STANDING on the corner of Lafayette STATE of Louisiana,

WONDERING where a city boy could GO

To GET a little conversation DRINK a little red wine

CATCH a little bit of those Cajun girls DANCING to Zydeco

Along come a YOUNG girl She's pretty as a PRAYER book

Sweet as an APPLE on Christmas DAY

I said good GRACious can this be MY luck

If that's my PRAYER book Lord let us PRAY

Well, I'm STANDing on the corner of Lafayette STATE of Louisiana,  

WONDERING where a city boy could DO

To GET her in a conversation; DRINK a little red wine

DANCE to the music of Clifton Chenier, THE KING of the Bayou

Well, that was your MOTHER. And that was your FATHER

Before you was BORN dude. When life was GREAT

You are the BURDEN of my generAtion

I sure do LOVE you. But let's get that STRAIGHT

Well, I'm STANDING on the corner of Lafayette, aCROSS the street from The Public       

HEADING down to the Lone Star CAFE

Maybe GET a little conversation, DRINK a little red wine

STANDING in the shadow of Clifton Chenier. DANCING the night away
