Ted Hutt - I Woke Up in New Orleans lyrics

I couldn't out drink anyone for nothing But I'd act like it 'til I puked or pa**ed out Oh most nights I could get away with something These days I don't seem to stand so proud She asked me why can't I just stop drinking Come on babe, we both know it's too late Oh for either one of us to still be thinking That I could live my life some other way I woke up in New Orleans Angry at the world and all alone I want you to know darling I love you and I want to come back home It was less than graceful ladies I've said we'll see I've drank with scoundrels, tramps and god damn fools Oh but I don't think they much care if it k**s me Living life the mans just pa**ing through The last few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams A quilt of poor intentions raveled out Oh but it was you who took me in and saved me It seems I've paid you back with slack and broken vows And I woke up in New Orleans Angry at the world and all alone I want you to know darling I love you and I want to come back home I know it should have been easy Its too late to change the path I chose This might not count for nothing Just want you to know I woke up in New Orleans Angry at the world and all alone I want you to know darling I love you and I want to come back home I love you and I want to come back home
