I Woke up in New Orleans - Lucero

i couldnt out drink anyone for nothing

but id act like it till i puked or passed out

most nights i could get away with something

these days i dont seem to stand so proud

she asked me why just i cant stop drinking

come on babe we both know its to late

oooh

for either one of us to still be thinkin

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 kniow darling

i love you and want to come back home

to less then graceful ladies ive said we’ll see

ive drank with scoundrels, tramps, and goddamn fools

oooh

but i dont think they’d much care if it kills me

living like a man just passing through

the last few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams

a quilt of poor intentions raveled out

oooh

but it was you who took me in and saved me

seems ive payed 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 to late to change the path i chose

this might not count for nothin

just wanted 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
