Verse 1:
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 everyday here the same.
I'm bound to go to the city where nobody knows my name.
Break 1:
How many days can I walk this road from the levee
To the farm? Wake up in the moring in the same old
Place. Only the leavin' is left and gone.
Repeat Intro
Verse 2:
So long ol' 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?
Break 2:
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.
Repeat Intro 2x's
Verse 3:
D Em G# G D Run #2
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, I lose I lose my life.
Break 3:
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.
Repeat Intro
So long, Rayne, Louisiana, never see me no more...
D(2) Em(2) F(1) G(1) D(1) UNTIL END OF SONG
enjoy :)
