Take Me Back to New Orleans

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

Take me back to New Orleans

And drop me at my door

'Cause I might love you yeah

But I love me more

My fingernails are bitten til there's nothing left but skin

I'd rather be anyone else right now

The light that shown within my eyes is slowly going dim

She told me where told me when but never said how

Take me back to New Orleans

And drop me at my door

'Cause I might love you yeah

But I love me more

She said "How can I make this unhappen?"

I said "You can not 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"

The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass

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 pass when you offer me some

Take me back to New Orleans

And drop me at my door

'Cause I might love you yeah

But I love me more

Take me back to New Orleans

And don't call me anymore

'Cause I might love you yeah

I might love you yeahhh

I might love you yeah

But I love me more

I love me more

I love me mooooooooorrrrrre
