Louisiana Lowdown

My eyelids said 4: 30

But the radio clock said 6: 00

And I was thinking of a reasonable excuse

I might have slept til yesterday

But in the shape I'm in

What's 24 hours more or less

To lose?

I burned up letters and I burned up souvineers

And left no traces, Lord, that I was ever here

And I won't be Louisiana Lowdown and Blue

Yeah

Phone rings after breakfast

I swallow hard when I Hear "guess who"

I say "oh No!" and the caller hangs up

I think I need a shower

But I really want a beer

And I remember a dream I had and laugh to myself

I burned up letters and I burned up souvineers

And left no traces, Lord, that I was ever here

And I won't be Louisiana Lowdown and Blue

And Blue

I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday

And it scared me almost half to death

I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from her

Instead I closed my eyes and she wasn't there

Ahh

Somewhere in the French Quater

In the winter of last year

Down in the square dripped chili on myself

So headed home and heard the sound

Of heaven in my ears

Turned and saw a woman singing about jesus

I burned up letters and I burned up souvineers

And left no traces, Lord, that I was ever here

And I won't be Louisiana Lowdown, And I won't be Louisiana Lowdownand Blue

And I won't be Louisiana Lowdown And Blue

And Blue

And Blue

And Blue

And Blue

And Blue
