My brother Jimmy
My other brother Jack
Went off down to Houston
And they never come back
My mama wasn't gonna let her baby go yet now
But there ain't nobody hirin' back in Lafayette
I'm workin' all week for the Texaco check
As sun beatin' down on the back of my neck
I tried to save my money but Jimmy says no
Says he's got a little honey out on Telephone Road
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
This ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'
Out on Telephone Road
Telephone Road is ten miles long
Fifty car lots and a hun-hundred honky-tonks
Jukebox blastin' and the beer bottles ring
And Jimmy banging on a pinball machine
Well come on, come on
Come on let's go
Well this ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'
Out on Telephone Road
My mama never told me
About nothin' like this
Now I guess Houston's 'bout as big
As a city can get
Sometimes I get a lonesome for Lafayette
Someday I'm goin' home
But I ain't ready yet
Well come on, come on
Come on let's go
Well this ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'
Out on Telephone Road
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Well this ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'
Out on Telephone Road
My other brother Jack
Went off down to Houston
And they never come back
My mama wasn't gonna let her baby go yet now
But there ain't nobody hirin' back in Lafayette
I'm workin' all week for the Texaco check
As sun beatin' down on the back of my neck
I tried to save my money but Jimmy says no
Says he's got a little honey out on Telephone Road
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
This ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'
Out on Telephone Road
Telephone Road is ten miles long
Fifty car lots and a hun-hundred honky-tonks
Jukebox blastin' and the beer bottles ring
And Jimmy banging on a pinball machine
Well come on, come on
Come on let's go
Well this ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'

Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Well this ain't Louisiana
Your mama won't know
Come on, come on
Come on let's go
Here everybody's rockin'
Out on Telephone Road
