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
