She named her daughter Louisiana For all her happy memories Of her childhood in the bayou Before she moved up to Milwaukee Before Hurricane Katrina Washed away all that they had She moved up north with family With no reason to go back No reason to go back Well she never liked the winters But she liked the summers fine And she liked the boys' attention And she made them stand in line When she found herself expecting Her daddy flew into a rage But she chose to keep the baby And she chose the baby's name She chose her name Louisiana Things don't always work out like you plan But you play what's in your hand the best you can Louisiana Every night she'd hold her close and sing How I love you Louisiana And the happiness you bring Well her father was a good man But he struggled to provide So he joined the US Army 'Cause he wanted to do right They hadn't gotten married When they shipped him to Iraq There a sniper's bullet found him And he ended just like that He ended just like that Louisiana Things don't always work out like you plan But you play what's in your hand the best you can Louisiana Every night she'd hold her close and sing How I love you Louisiana And the comfort that you bring You can light yourself a candle Or pray the rosary You can ask the good Lord why You can beg the good Lord please But if you get an answer It might not be the one you want So give thanks for what you're given And hold on to what you've got Hold on to what you've got Louisiana Things don't always work out like you plan But you play what's in your hand the best you can Louisiana Every night she'd hold her close and sing How I love you Louisiana And the memories you bring
