Well my eyelids said four-thirty
and the radio clock said six
and i was thinking up a reasonable excuse
i might have slept til yesterday
but in the shape i'm in
what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
Chorus:
i've burned up letters and i've burned up souvenirs
and left no traces lord that i was ever here
and i won't be louisiana lowdown and blue
Bridge:
i saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
and it scared me almost half to death
i wanted to hide i wanted to run away from her
instead i closed my eyes and she wasn't there
