My eyelids said four-thirty
And the radio clock said six
I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
I might have slept through yesterday
But in the shape I'm in
Whats twenty-four hours more or less to lose?
I burned up letters and I burned up souveniers
Leaving no traces that I was ever hear
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
Yeah the phone rings after breakfast
I swallow hard when I hear
"Guess who?" and I say "Oh no!"
And the caller hangs up
I think I need a shower
But I really want a beer
And I remember a dream I had
And laughed to myself
I burned up letters and I burned up souveniers
Leaving no traces that I was ever hear
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
I 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 them
Instead I closed my eyes and I wasn't there
I was somewhere in the French Quarter
In the witer of last year
Sitting in the Square dripping chilly on myself
Then headed home I heard the sound
Of heaven in my ears
Turned and saw a woman on the corner
Singing about Jesus
I burned up letters and I burned up souveniers
Leaving no traces that I was ever here
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
