Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana
Runnin' and thumbin' all the way
That started out way out in California
I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day
I covered all the beaches on the west coast
From Mexico Crason City Bay
But Calilou was not in California
That's where her daddy came from by the way
And by the way her mother was a Cajun
She came from New Orleans I've heard her say
And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama
So I might find her there along the way
Calilou, Calilou well they should have call you restless
Well they should have call you drifter
Yeah, they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
I recall the first time that I saw her
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
And I told her if she should be a movie star
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
I held her in my arms a whole night long
I whispered words like settle down and family
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone
Calilou, Calilou well they should have call you restless
Well they should have call you drifter
Yeah, they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
Calilou, Calilou well they should have call you restless
Well they should have call you drifter
Yeah, they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
