New Orleans

[Verse 1]

Woke up this mornin' 50 miles from New Orleans

And I could not find my baby

My wallet or blue jeans

And all I gots what I believe

And a shoe for kickin' rocks out by the road

Well I've seen you twice before but I will not see you again

I know it's you that left me stranded out in nowhere Lousian'

From the swamp out by the highway to the other side of Houston here I go

[Chorus]

Oh babe, why can't you see

You're the only thing as heartless as me

That I ever met

Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave

[Verse 2]

Well another thing I'll never do

Is love you like I did

I left the lights on for ya mama

You told me I was a kid

How the hell'd you have the heart

To never let me know I was alone?

Drove all the way to Texas with us dancin' in my head

Just preachin' to the window all the things I never said

Got two more waitin' on me

You ain't nothin' like I ever seen back home

[Chorus]

Oh babe, why can't you see

You're the only thing as heartless as me

That I ever met

Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave

[Verse 3]

I'm out here on the edge of town

There ain't no lookin' back

Bout 80 pages to the wind blowin' white smoke from the stacks

You can find me on the front porch

Of the A-frame out in Big Hill gettin' high

[Chorus]

Oh babe, why can't you see

You're the only thing as heartless as me

That I ever met

Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave

[Chorus]

Oh babe, why can't you see

You're the only thing as heartless as me

That I ever met

Ever since you left beyond the place I'd never leave
