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
