I've seen those shining lights, I've seen those hollywood hills
Ain't nothing to that life, except glitter, drugs and pills
Hey, hey take me back to La
Now anyone can be an actress
You just act like you don't care
I let people tell me what to eat, how to walk and what to wear

Hey hey take me back to la
Take me back to la, leave me there to stay
Soon as my feet touch that sweet southern ground
I'll kiss my momma, hug my daddy
I'm gonna be so happy

Take me back to la
I'm louisiana bound!
Set shy south of jackson
Just north of new orleans
There's a little town call kentwood
It's where I want to be
Hey, hey take me back to La

Well my daddy calls it pootas
It's like saying "I love you. "
And there's a party down at the truck stop
It's my favorite thing to do
Hey hey take me back to La
Take me back to la and leave me there to stay
As so as my feet touch that sweet southern ground
I'll kiss my momma, hug my daddy, I'm gonna be so happy, on

Take me back to La
I'm louisiana bound
L-o-u-I-s-iana
Take me back, take me back, home to La
L-o-u-I-s-iana
Take me back, take me back, home to L. A

Hey hey
You'll never be a stranger here
We'll see you welcome till you're off
Every day's a celebration
Just like mardi gras
Take me back to la and leave me there to stay
As so as my feet touch that sweet southern ground
I'll kiss my momma, hug my daddy, I'm gonna be so happy, on
Take me back to La
I'm louisiana bound
