There's nothing so strange As us taking these chances I miss the way that your eyes When you're sneaking glances Halfway to Lexington We'll fly by poor houses and Take a midnight stop to parish hotels Just to ask which way south is Hey, Louise, it ain't worth all this misery 'Cause I know the world don't want to see And only the wind can dry these tears So move on, move on with me Hey, Louise I snuck up to your room o One cold, Sunday morning Begging you to leave with me I kept my engine running There was nothing I wanted more Than to have you company And I can still see you standing At that door watching me leave And one good thing I got When I left that time was That your face was the last thing I saw as I pulled out Hey, Louise, it ain't worth all this misery 'Cause I know the world don't want to see And only the wind can dry these tears So move on, move on with me Hey, Louise Hey, Louise, it ain't worth all this misery 'Cause I know the world don't want to see And only the wind can dry these tears So move on, move on with me Hey, Louise
