With a little traditional Cajun feel, Bayou Self is a song about the stubborn life of drinking with Jack, Jim and Jose and winding up "Bayou Self". It is an upbeat, fun song.
Written By: Eric Geibel
Arrangement: Pershing Wells
Featuring Waylon Thibodaux on Fiddle

"Bayou Self" is about a Cajun man living on the bayou and doing exactly what he wants to do. No one is asking any questions. No one can change his mind. He is living up to the only expectation he feels he can live up to and that is drinking Bayou Self.

Jack don't ask me what I'm thinking
Jim don't care why I've been drinking
Jose won't question my intentions
Ain't just about my past relations
They're just here to sooth my tension
I think I've found the only thing that's willing to put up with my situation.
I can't meet your expectations
Living my life in short durations
Always ending up in confrontation
Hard knocks are my education
Sometimes leaves me asking more questions
Wish that I could finally find a different shot of inspiration
Pouring from a bottle on every shelf
Drinking alone on Bayou Self
Nothing can make me change my ways
That's why I'll spend the rest of my days on Bayou Self
Had my share of bad relations
THey just lead to complications
Get me one more substitution
No need for a new reputation
Pour me another bar room consultation
Could the finally be the day that I forget your intoxication
Pouring from a bottle off every shelf
Drinking alone on Bayou Self
Nothing can make me change my ways
That's why I'll spend the rest of my days on Bayou Self
Pouring from a bottle off every shelf
Drinking alone on Bayou Self
Nothing can make me change my ways
That's why I'll spend the rest of my days on Bayou Self
