The Texas sun beats down apon me like the Devil's smile
I'd rather be anywhere else than here
Was it a blinding lack of subtlety or just a lack of style?
Responding to the ways and means of fear
Take me back to New Orleans
And drop me at my door
'Cause I might love you yeah
But I love me more
My fingernails are bitten til there's nothing left but skin
I'd rather be anyone else right now
The light that shown within my eyes is slowly going dim
She told me where told me when but never said how
Take me back to New Orleans
And don't call me anymore
'Cause I might love you yeah
But I love me more
She said "How can I make this unhappen?"
I said "You can not make this unhappen"
Choose before your choices fade away
She said "I could be home by tomorrow"
She said "If I could beg steal or borrow"
I said "You're there you might as well stay"
The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass
The lack of sleep has made me numb
But sometimes when she sleeps she'll turn and she'll whisper my name
That cake must taste great but I'll pass when you offer me some
Take me back to New Orleans
And drop me at my door
'Cause I might love you yeah
But I love me more
Take me back to New Orleans
And don't call me anymore
'Cause I might love you yeah
I might love you yeahhh
I might love you yeah
But I love me more
I love me more
I love me mooooooooorrrrrre
