I’ve been down the golden highway, up the silver coast
I’ve been to California for a while
I’ve seen the Smoky Mountains and I’ve traveled more that most
But I guess it’s Lou’siana makes me smile

(chorus)
I guess it’s Louisiana makes me smile,
When I’m with the Cajun people I go wild
Can’t replace ’em, so embrace ’em and be thankful for their style
I guess it’s Louisiana makes me smile

When I feel the warm embrace of that Louisiana sun
And remember good times here before I roamed
All the places I have been to, all the things that I have done
Could never match this place that I call home

(chorus)
