Thought I had everything.
God, I’d believe anything.
But I wasn’t even thinking
about the rain.
I pack for the sunshine,
prepared for a good time
but the sky changed its mind
and down at came.
Now tears are falling.
My heart is crawling.
Goddamn, your Nawlins
another one down the drain.
I was standing there, wishing
but sort of like fishing
with no bait on the hook
just trying to fail.
To be so uncertain
it’s downright disturbing
I woke up on Bourbon
catching a whale
Now tears are falling.
My heart is crawling.
Goddamn, your Nawlins
just another tall tale.
I said I’m sorry
but I had to party.
I needed what I got
and I’ll need it again.
It never means nothing.
It always means something.
I’ve never known loving
that didn’t come to pain.
Now tears are falling.
My heart is crawling.
Goddamn, your Nawlins
see you next year.
