Well I walked on down to Bourban Street
I'm lookin for the house of New Orleans
I sold off all my whiskey
I bummed a cigarette from a man who had no arms
And I asked him for directions
He just turned around and walked on down the road
And I remember the night we danced out in the rain
And I remember the night she held me through my pain
I know there's times I feel like I could go insane
But I remember the night that we danced in the rain
Well I walked on down to the water's edge
Watched the Mississippi river boats flyin down that water line
