Louisiana Lowdown Lyrics

My eyelids said 4:30
but the radio clock said 6:00
and I was thinking of a reasonable excuseI might have slept til yesterday
but in the shape I'm in
whats 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 BlueYeahPhone rings after breakfast
I swallow hard when I Hear "guess who"
I say "oh No!" and the caller hangs upI think I need a shower
but I really want a beer
and I remember a dream I had and laugh to myselfI 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 BlueI 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 thereAhhSomewhere 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 jesusI 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
