Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
I couldn't out drink anyone for nothing
but I'd act like it 'til I puked or passed out
Ohhh most nights I could get away with something
these days I don't seem to stand so proud
She asked me why can't I just stop drinking
Come on babe, we both know it's too late
ohhh for either one of us to still be thinking
that I could live my life some other way
I woke up in New Orleans
angry at the world and all alone
I want you to know darling
I love you and I want to come back home
It was less than graceful ladies I've said we'll see
I've drank with scoundrels, tramps and god damn fools
Ohhh but I don't think that much care if it kills me
living life the mans just passing through
the last few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams
a quilt of poor intentions raveled out
Ohhh but it was you who took me in and saved me
it seems I've paid you back with slack and broken vows
and I woke up in New Orleans
angry at the world and all alone
I want you to know darling
I love you and I want to come back home
I know it should have been easy
its too late to change the path I chose
this might not count for nothing
just want you to know
I woke up in New Orleans
angry at the world and all alone
I want you to know darling
I love you and I want to come back home
I love you and I want to come back home
