I'm gonna take me a ride on a riverboat
Down to New Orleans
Gotta pocket full of money and a liquor bottle
Gonna drink away my dreamsDon't really wanna leave
Sure I can't stay
I'm gonna get on that riverboat
And gamble my life awayMakes me fly like an eagle
Higher and higher everyday
'Cause in my mind and in my dreams
I can't get her awayI'm gonna sit down at the poker table
Five card stud's my game
Gonna try and forget that crazy woman
Gonna try and forget her nameI don't know how I'll make it
But I'll forget her some way
This is the time and the only time
She ain't gonna get awayShe makes me fly like an eagle
Higher and higher everyday
'Cause in my mind and in my dreams
I can't get her awayAnd she makes me fly like an eagle
Higher and higher everyday
'Cause in my mind and in my dreams
I can't get her away, can't get her away
