Rayne, Louisiana (recorded live at Gruene Hall (duet with Charlie Robison))

So long Rayne, Louisiana

Never see me no more

Hundred dollars thirty days in the slammer

I'd rather hit the road

I found I'm goin' crazy

Every day here the same

I'm bound to go to the city

Where nobody knows my name

How many days can I walk this road

From the levee to the farm

Wake up in the morning in the same old place

Only the leavin' is left in gone

So long New Orleans

Nothing but a waste of time

Hot nights down in the quarter

Took me my last dime

Well I count the waves in the water

Just like an old drunk bum

Deep down Mississippi river

Where's it all come from

How many days can you spend in the shadows

Hidin' from the sun

Waitin' for the night to lay your money

On a point that never comes

So long New York City

My dreams are dead and gone

No heart no damn pity

I believe I'm headed home

One time before I'm leavin'

I'm gonna roll them dice

If it comes in I got no worries

If I lose I lose my life

How many days can I spend in the middle

Of the black concrete and cars

Been so cruel and care so little

Bout a man that's come so far
