Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight
I've seen the fruits of rambling
I know hardship well
And if I'm not mistaken
I hear a ringing bell
I love to start but hate the ends
I crack a joke 'coz I know I need my friends
Do a lot of talking
But seldom with my heart
It hurts when people tell me
I often play to smart
But sometimes I'm happy
And sometimes I'm blue
You know, I'm only passing trough
A look to the sky is the reason why
I'd rather live than die
If heaven can wait I know I'll get by
I'd rather live than die
I always say yes
Though I mean no
