Down Louisiana Way Lyrics


I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana wayI will miss all my old Chicago friends
And think about you San Francisco now and then
I will remember my compadres in L.A.
Look me up down Louisiana wayI'm goin' down Louisiana way
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana wayDon't let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around for me to go
I will miss youSo long my friend, guess I'll see you while ago
I might be back sometime, you just never know
I have left a sweet heart north of Whiskey Bay

True love waits down Louisiana wayI'm goin' down Louisiana way
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952 in Pearsall, Texas) is an American country music artist. He is known for his unique style of western swing music, bar-room ballads, honky-tonk style, and fresh yet traditional country western music. George Strait holds the world record for more #1 hit singles than any other artist in the history of music on any chart or in any genre. As of 2010 he has recorded 57 #1 hit singles on the Billboard Country Singles chart.

Strait rocketed to success after his first single "Unwound" gave him his first hit in 1981. While contributing to the neo-traditional movement of the 1980s, he amassed seven number one albums in the decade with his most popular hits including "Fool Hearted Memory" and "Ocean Front Property". By the 1990s, Strait had influenced a new breed of performers while continuing his own successes, having charted upwards of 20 number one hits including "Heartland" and "Blue Clear Sky". The next decade for which he was named Artist Of The Decade by the ACM, he was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame and won his first Grammy award for his hit album Troubadour. Strait continued his previous successes during this time, producing a more contemporary sound with moderate cross-over hits including "She'll Leave You with a Smile" and "You'll Be There".

Strait won CMA Entertainer of the year in 1989 and 1990 and ACM Entertainer of the year in 1990. He has been nominated for more CMA and ACM awards and has more wins in both categories than any other artist. As of 2009, he holds the record for the most Number One hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts with 44 number one singles on that chart. Counting all other music charts, Strait has amassed a total of 57 number one hits overall, breaking a record previously set by Conway Twitty.

Strait has sold more than 68.5 million albums in the United States and his certifications from the RIAA include 13 multi-platinum, 33 platinum and 38 gold albums. His best-selling album is Pure Country (1992), which sold 6 million (6× Multi-platinum). His highest certified album is Strait Out of the Box (1995), which sold 2 million copies (8× Multi-Platinum due to being a box set with four CDs). According to the RIAA, Strait is the 12th best-selling recording artist with the albums in the United States overall.

In 1986, George Strait lost his 13 year old daughter to a car accident in San Marcos, Texas.
