I Woke up in New Orleans Lyrics

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
