Louisiana 04:01
Another rainy night in Louisiana I’m headed back, from Texarkana The last time I left here I wasn’t coming home I’ve been on this road, for one whole year Won’t someone tell me when the coast is clear I can see them laughing now As they watch me falling I was blind but know I see The pieces of my soul you took from me What will be they say must be But I can’t stand To watch this bayou rising when I’m on my knees Another rainy night in Louisiana I’m headed east to Alabama I’m gone this time I swear I’m never coming home I was blind but know I see The pieces of my soul you took from me What will be they say must be But I can’t stand To watch this bayou rising when I’m on my knees

My Sin 03:07
Wanderin’ 'round The east side of town Wondering where you could be I try to recall Damn near anything at all The memory that could be the key I can still see the chrome In the headlight that shone Reflect the warm bar room lights The strip was too long And now you are gone And I can’t get you back in my sights Now I don’t know Where I should go Or how I can find you again. What could it be? And why can’t I see? And how bad could be my sin? The night it was dark A careless remark I’m drunk and I’m searching for you. The whiskey lied And that beer made me snide And I said things I cannot undo [chorus] At times it seems I’ve blown all of my dreams And heartache is my destiny I miss the smile in your eyes But I cannot surmise A way to bring you back to me.

A dreadlocked girl in a homemade dress She took a whirl on a sweet caress Now a baby sleeps by her side And she can’t decide when her dreams all died He left Tulsa on a greyhound bus Early one morning without much fuss Now he sleeps on the street of dreams His hope as tattered as his faded jeans And they’re wonderin’ where to go Just to find a little soul But they’re holding out for love sweet love To bring them home again I came here searching for a bit of life I had my dreams and I had my wife Now my dreams are all that remain But I’m still searching for that sweet refrain And I’m still wondering where to go To find a little soul But I’m still holding out for love sweet love To take me home again.

The Fall 03:59
Rats in the sewers Rats in City Hall Rats on the streets at night Gris gris on my wall I’ve seen some shit down here That’ll blow your mind Men broken in the dark of night Women bleedin’ wine I step out of my room at night Hang around the corner barroom door I’ve been inside before But I don’t go there any more I walk South Salcedo St. And North Dorgenois Tryin’ to find my way back to The time before my fall I step out of my room at night Hang around the corner barroom door I don’t need to go inside She don’t come here any more She don’t come ‘round here no more
