Lyrics

LEFT NEW ORLEANS THIS MORNING
'BOUT HALF PAST SEVEN
IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO TO STAY AWAKE
GUITAR ON MY SHOULDER I THINK I’M HEADED FOR SOME HEAVEN
FORGOT TO PACK MY PLANS ALONG THE WAY

AND MAGNOLIA’S BRINING BACK OLD MEMORIES
THE WHISKEY ON MY BREATH HELPS DULL THE PAIN
AND I AIN’T BEEN LIVIN RIGHT, CAUSE EVERY STEP I TAKE
DRAGS ANOTHER TEAR ACROSS MY FACE
AND WAKES UP ANOTHER DREAM I HAVE MISPLACED

GOT A RIDE FROM GULFPORT TOOK ME AL THE WAY TO MOBILE
SPENT THE NIGHT IN AN ALABAMA JAIL
MUST HAVE LOST MY WALLET WHILE I WAS DRINKIN’ DOWN A GOOD MEAL
CAUSE I HAD TO SING SOME SONGS TO PAY MY BAIL


THE STRANGER’S ALL SEEM FACELESS IN A BAR OUTSIDE ORLANDO
IN THE MIRROR BEHIND THE BOTTLES I LOOK THE SAME
SEARCHIN’ THROUGH MY WALLET FOR SOMEONE TO TALK TO
I DON’T FEEL ALONE BUT I JUST DON’T KNOW THEIR NAMES

AND MAGNOLIA’S BRINGING BACK OLD MEMORIES
THE WHISKEY ON MY BREATH HELPS DULL THE PAIN
AND I AIN’T BEEN LIVIN' RIGHT, 'CAUSE EVERY STEP I TAKE
DRAGS ANOTHER TEAR ACROSS MY FACE
AND WAKES UP ANOTHER DREAM I HAVE MISPLACED
