Erin Mckeown - That's Just What Happened lyrics

There was a time when my soul was tight And whiskey had a hold of my head For every song that that liquor would write That was one sip closer to d**h Down Jackson, down bourbon, down Ursuline Down basin, I walk discontent With sugar on my lips and that cake on my mind The devil followed wherever I went At desire I knocked on that wooden sign That promised to make truth of my dreams But I couldn't get enough of that delicate stuff To get the flames off the back of me I asked God to meet me in New Orleans And God did, and God did I asked God to meet me in New Orleans And God did, and God did Water into wine and then the wine was poison of a kind Saints and aints reach down and lifted me to higher higher ground I asked God to meet me in New Orleans And God did, and God did Don't be scared, I have not found religion Oh I've not, oh I have not But something came and took me far beyond where I could hope to go On the streets I'm leading the dancing of my joyous funeral I asked God to meet me in New Orleans And God did, and God did I asked God to meet me in New Orleans And God did, and God did So beware children of that devious ride The toll and tax will never be met For every song that that liquor would write That was one sip closer to d**h
