A                        E 
Passion in the backseat, parked out in the cane 
E                                               A 
Ever since the first time I ain't ever been the same 
A                         E 
I gave up on baseball and I threw down my glove 
E                      D          A 
I discovered girls and I got into love 
 
A                               E 
Me and my friend Aldo, he's the one who had the car 
E                      A    
We made all the dances we made all the bars 
A                              E 
Told each other secrets and we wore each other's clothes 
    E                              D            A 
One night I stole his woman, and I wonder if he knows 
 
D         A    E       A    
Sleep all day, run all night 
D           A               E 
Chasing the ladies cause we knew they might 
   D               A        E             A   
We raised a lot of hell, we made a lot of noise 
D         A            E     A 
Everybody knew we were Bayou Boys 
D         A            E     A 
Everybody knew we were Bayou Boys 
 
 
Sweet Marie was dangerous with those dark seductive eyes 
She had me sayin "maybe baby" before I realized 
She loved me so deeply and I tried to hold on 
But changin' don't come easy when you've been this way so long
