Stephen Stills - Acadienne lyrics

In the bayous haunted by Evangeline

In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween

There's a mist that's hanging right in between

The Spanish moss & the cypress LEAVES

And the memory of the life that's gone wrong

C'est plus quand possible

Tu les sais Acadienne

I'm a driver alone in my Cadillac

In a white chair rug you'll be thinking back

He'll be running wild as a child tonight

And the snakes and ‘gators they was friends of mine

I'll forever be un petit Acadien

C'est plus quand possible

Tu les sais Acadienne

And the father never found peace enough

To cure his permanent wanderlust

Every time we'd get settled down

We'd wake up heading for another town

From the Louisiana to the Florida

That's a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)

That's a simple people don't complicate

And you hear the future in the hands of fate

And the life you get is the life that I want

C'est plus quand possible

Tu le sais Acadienne

And my father never found peace enough

To cure his permanent wanderlust

Every time we'd get settled down

We'd wake up heading for another town

Hear me boy cos your love is why

You got two three words you gonna be alright

And there's powerful forces out up the swamp

It'll be forever, make it permanent

And the life you get is the life that I want

C'est plus quand possible

Tu le sais Acadienne

C'est plus quand possible

Tu le sais Acadienne
