I couldn't out drink anyone for nothing but I'd act like it till I puked or pa**ed out Ohhh 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 ohhh 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 With less than graceful ladies I've said we'll see I've drank with scoundrels, tramps and god damn fools Ohhh but I don't think they'd much care if it k**s me Been living life the man just pa**ing through The last few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams a quilt of poor intentions raveled out Ohhh but it was you who took me in and saved me Seems I've paid you back with slack and broken vows 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 it's too late to change the path I chose this might not count for nothing I just wanted you to know I woke up in New Orleans angry at the world and all alone But 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
