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
