So long Rayne, Louisiana, never see me no more.
Hundred dollars, thirty days in the slammer,
I'd rather hit the road.
I found I'm goin crazy everyday here the same.
I'm bound to go to the city where nobody knows my name.
How many days can I walk this road from the levee
To the farm? Wake up in the moring in the same old
Place. Only the leavin' is left and gone.
Repeat Intro
So long ol' New Orleans, nothing but a waste of time.
Hot nights down in the quarter, took me my last dime.
Well I count the waves in the water just like an old
Drunk bum. Deep down Mississippi river, where's it all
Come from?
How many days can you spend in the shadows, hidin' from
The sun? Waitin' for the night to lay your money on a point
That never comes.
Repeat Intro 2x's
So long New York City, my dreams are dead and gone.
No heart, no damn pity, I believe I'm headed home.
One time before I'm leavin' I'm gonna roll them dice.
If it comes in I got no worries, I lose I lose my life.
How many days can I spend in the middle of the black
Concrete and cars? Been so cruel and care so little
'Bout a man that's come so far.
Repeat Intro
So long, Rayne, Louisiana, never see me no more
enjoy :)
