lyrics

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
YEA YA RIGHT

I was born in the city of bayous
But the city took the “me-oh-my-ohs”
And cooked up them Geto Boys yo
And made Willie D an H-Town hero
Yea Ya Right

And I owe it all to New Orleans
Seven years old down in The Quarter
Brass bands bangin’ in my eardrum
Never did want to go home no
Yea Ya Right

Now I’m eatin’ them hill country peaches
And finishing my rice and beans yes
Educated on Waylon Jennings
And Thank God that Willie keeps livin’
Yea Ya Right

Robert Earl Keen, Townes Van Zandt
Kermit Ruffins and The Rebirth Brass Band
Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas
It’s where I got me guts to do this
Yea Ya Right
