New Orleans

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 no where Lousian' From the swamp out by the highway to the other side of Houston here I go. 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 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 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 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 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
