I've been running this Airline Highway
Between New Orleans and Baton Rouge
They say there's sixty-one ways to leave your love
Sixty-one ways to leave your love behind
And the motels stand in line
Like the jagged teeth inside
Your New Orleans' life
Now I'm carving my heart out on the Airline
Carving my heart out on the Airline Highway
