I Woke up in New Orleans

i couldnt out drink anyone for nothing
but id act like it till i puked or passed out
most nights i could get away with something
these days i dont seem to stand so proud
she asked me why just i cant stop drinking
come on babe we both know its to late
oooh
for either one of us to still be thinkin
that i could live my life some other way
i woke up
in new orleans
angry at the world and all alone
i want you
to kniow darling
i love you and want to come back home
to less then graceful ladies ive said we’ll see
ive drank with scoundrels, tramps, and goddamn fools
oooh
but i dont think they’d much care if it kills me
living like a man just passing through
the last few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams
a quilt of poor intentions raveled out
oooh
but it was you who took me in and saved me
seems ive payed you back with slack and broken vows
and i woke up in new orleans
angry at the world and all alone
i want you
to know darling
i love you and i want to come back home
i know it should have been easy
its to late to change the path i chose
this might not count for nothin
just wanted you to know
i woke up
in new orleans
angry at the world and all alone
i want you
to know darling
i love you and i want to come back home
i love you and i want to come back home
