Cowboy Mouth - New Orleans lyrics

The Texas sun beats down upon me Like the Devil's smile I'd rather be anywhere else than here Was it a blinding lack of subtlety Or just a lack of style Responding to the ways and means of fear? CHORUS: Take me back to New Orleans And drop me at my door 'Cause I might love you, yeah, But I love me more VERSE 2: My fingertips are bitten 'Til there's nothing left but skin I'd rather be anyone else right now The light that shone within my eyes Is slowly growing dim She told me where, told me when, But never said how CHORUS: Take me back to New Orleans And don't call me anymore 'Cause I might love you, yeah, But I love me more BRIDGE: (She said) How can I make this unhappen? (I said) You cannot make this unhappen Choose before your choices fade away (She said) I could be home by tomorrow (She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow I said you're there, you might as well stay VERSE 3: The morning mist arises Through another crack in the gla** The lack of sleep has made me numb But sometimes when she sleeps She'll turn and she'll whisper his name That cake must taste great But I'll pa** when you offer me some CHORUS: Take me back to New Orleans And drop me at my door 'Cause I might love you, yeah, But I love me more END CHORUS: Take me back to New Orleans And don't call me anymore 'Cause I might love you, yeah I might love you, yeah I might love you, yeah, But I love me more I love me more I love me more
