My eyelids said 4:30
But the radio clock said 6:00
And I was thinking of a reasonable excuse

I might have slept til yesterday
But in the shape I'm in
What's 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 Blue

Yeah

Phone rings after breakfast
I swallow hard when I Hear "guess who"
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 laugh to myself

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 Blue
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 her
Instead I closed my eyes and she wasn't there

Ahh

Somewhere 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 jesus

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 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
