Chris Reed - Ain't No Love In Houma Oakla Lyrics

I thought we'd last like crawfish at a boil
But you left quicker than Louisiana oil
Took my heart packed it in your suitcase
Now I'm here stuck in Houma- no love no grace
Ain't no love in Houma Oakla I swear
Just the gators the gumbo and the humid air
You stole my heart left me with these mosquitos
Now I'm crying in my po' boy sipping cheap mojitos
We were hotter than a summer on the bayou
Now I'm colder than a crawfish étouffée stew
You said forever but that was a lie
Now I'm dodging love like boudin on the fly
Ain't no love in Houma Oakla it's true
Just the bayou blues and my beat-up shoes
You left me with beignets and bad decisions
Now I'm two-stepping solo with no one to listen
Ain't no love in Houma Oakla it's true
Just the bayou blues and my beat-up shoes
You left me with beignets and bad decisions
Now I'm two-stepping solo with no one to listen
I tried to drink my pain away with a Sazerac
But the bartender just laughed and handed me Jack
If heartbreak's a joke I'm the punchline king
But hey at least I still got my crawfish bling
I saw your mama down at the seafood shack
She said you moved to Tulsa and ain't coming back
Well I guess that's fine I never liked the Sooners
But I swear I saw the chupacabra digging through my coolers
Ain't no love in Houma Oakla that's right
Just a broken heart and a long Cajun night
But I'll laugh through the tears and who knows what's next
Maybe love's just a gumbo away - what a wreck!
