Lyrics
Hot like a steam bath
But as cold as a tomb beneath my skin
I got no one to blame but myself
For the shape I'm in
Rolling south out of Natchez
On a Greyhound rocking like a cradle
I drift fitful off to sleep all alone
In the heat of the night
Then I had this dream
You were there beside me
On the streets of New Orleans
Flowers in your hair
Full moon comes shining through the fog
And the hairspray on the window
And all the signs on the roadside
Look like tombstones in the corner of my mind
And I've got living proof to tell you
That there ain't no use in trying to go back home
And I know I've done some bad things
But the worst of all was leaving you alone
Then I had this dream
You were there beside me
On the streets of New Orleans
Flowers in your hair
Then I had this dream
Your loving arms around me
And as crazy as it seems
I know you're waiting for me there
Baby how long, how long must I search
I want to hold you till it hurts
Then I had this dream
Then I had this dream
You were there beside me
On the streets of New Orleans
Flowers in your hair
Then I had this dream
Your loving arms around me
And as crazy, crazy as it seems
I know you're waiting for me there
I know I'll find you there
