There's nothing on the radio
The city lights are sinking low
Past the burned out cars in the Pontchartrain
What a crime, what a shame
She came around a match and that
Left us all a busted flat
Everybody knew her name
And we let her in just the same
Kicked around a New Orleans
Worn out shoes and dirty dreams
In the alleyways
There's nothing left, nothing here
Blue eyes crying in my beer
Like the tears of ol' Suzanne
I can't believe
I've gotta leave
Louisianne
There's nothing on the radio
Nobody round here, not a soul
In Tennessee, maybe Delaware
We're all scattered everywhere
She dragged this town all through the mud
In a wake of rain and blood
Everybody knew but froze
When the levee broke and the water rose
Kicked around a New Orleans
Worn out shoes and dirty dreams
In the alleyways
There's nothing left, nothing here
Blue eyes crying in my beer
Like the tears of ol' Suzanne
I can't believe
I've gotta leave
Louisianne

Take what you reap, take what you sow
Take what you can, hit the road
Time to go
ย
Kicked around a New Orleans
Worn out shoes and dirty dreams
In the alleyways
There's nothing left, nothing here
Blue eyes crying in my beer
Like the tears of ol' Suzanne
I can't believe
I've gotta leave
Louisianne
