Ain't No Love In Houma Oakla Lyrics

I thought we'd last like crawfish at a boil

But you left quicker than Louisiana oil

Took my heart packed it in your suitcase

Now I'm here stuck in Houma— no love no grace

Ain't no love in Houma Oakla I swear

Just the gators the gumbo and the humid air

You stole my heart left me with these mosquitos

Now I'm crying in my po' boy sipping cheap mojitos

We were hotter than a summer on the bayou

Now I'm colder than a crawfish étouffée stew

You said forever but that was a lie

Now I'm dodging love like boudin on the fly

Ain't no love in Houma Oakla it's true

Just the bayou blues and my beat-up shoes

You left me with beignets and bad decisions

Now I'm two-stepping solo with no one to listen

Ain't no love in Houma Oakla it's true

Just the bayou blues and my beat-up shoes

You left me with beignets and bad decisions

Now I'm two-stepping solo with no one to listen

I tried to drink my pain away with a Sazerac

But the bartender just laughed and handed me Jack

If heartbreak's a joke I'm the punchline king

But hey at least I still got my crawfish bling

I saw your mama down at the seafood shack

She said you moved to Tulsa and ain't coming back

Well I guess that's fine I never liked the Sooners

But I swear I saw the chupacabra digging through my coolers

Ain't no love in Houma Oakla that's right

Just a broken heart and a long Cajun night

But I'll laugh through the tears and who knows what's next

Maybe love's just a gumbo away — what a wreck!
