Lyrics:

Blacktop in the pouring rain

Will I ever see your face again

Pit stop in Alabam, I can't believe this is happening

She left a light on it said closed tonight

Guess I gotta keep west on I-10

How much more do I drive tonight

To get home to New Orleans

 

Will she welcome me with open arms

Or will the door slam right in my face

Am I Clark Gable or her Cary Grant

Or just a number on her resume

Sign on the door said do not disturb

Guess I gotta keep west on I-10

How much more do I drive tonight

To get home to New Orleans

 

Everything about her made me want to shout

This is love it's a real sure thing

Like it didn't matter my heart it got shattered

Now I'm playing second string

She left a light on it said closed tonight

Guess I gotta keep west on I-10

Looziana line's in my high-beams

I'm almost home to New Orleans

 

When I saw his shadow in the window

How low my heart it sank

She always said I'd be the only one

I guess trust is just a name on a bank

Sign on the door said do not disturb

Guess I gotta keep west on I-10

How much more do I drive tonight

To get home to New Orleans

 

Everything about her made me want to shout

This is love it's a real sure thing

Like it didn't matter my heart it got shattered

Now I'm playing second string

She left a light on it said closed tonight

Guess I gotta keep west on I-10

There's the parish line in my high-beams

I'm almost home to New Orleans

There's the parish line in my high-beams

I'm almost home to New Orleans
