Lyrics

WE WERE AT LARGE IN A PARTYING TOWN / ME & THE BOYS - WE WERE THROWIN ‘EM DOWN
AT THE MAPLE LEAF KEITH BOUGHT SOME GIRLS A ROUND / (OR THREE)
THEY SAID THEY WERE TEACHERS FROM TENNESEE / THIS TEACHER NAMED JILL SHE WAS WAY INTO ME
IT WAS HER IDEA THAT SHE AND I SHOULD LEAVE
SHE WAS SO HOT & I WOULD NOT DENY / I MAYBE WAS ONE SHOT OVER THE LINE
AND IT SEEMED A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME

BUT THAT WAS JUST - WRONG-HEADED THINKIN / RESULTING FROM – HURRICANE DRINKIN
MY - THINKIN HEAD WAS SHRINKIN / WHILE MY LITTLE HEAD GREW

IT WAS JUST – WRONG-HEADED THINKING / FEELIN MY WILLPOWER WEAKEN
MY BIG HEAD WAS FREAKIN / WHAT MY LITTLE HEAD GOT US INTO /
IT SEEMED A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME

THERE WAS A CAB RIDE THROUGH THE DARK STREETS / THERE WERE SOME WILD GIRLS FROM TENNESSEE
THERE WERE SOME THINGS I THOUGHT THIS BOY WOULD NEVER SEE /
NOW I AM LOST DOWN HERE IN NEW ORLEANS / & I CAN’T EVEN cONTROL MY OWN FEET
EMPTY POCKETS & AN FUZZY MEMORY

THE LAST THING I RECALL WAS AT STOP AT LAFITTE’S / SHE SAID HERE TRY ONE OF THESE
SOMETHING’S TELLING ME THAT I AGREED

CHORUS

SOMETHING’S TELLING ME THAT I AGREED

FINALLY FOUND BOURBON ST AROUND DAWN / FREAKS WERE STILL THERE BUT THE TOURISTS WERE GONE
THERE WERE JUST PRETTY BOYS & HOOKERS ALL AROUND
STUMBLING ALONG AND WHO SHOULD I MEET / STAGGERING TOWARD ME WAS MY BUDDY KEITH
AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN ME
HE SAID THE LAST THING I REMEMBER / IS A GIRL FROM TENNESSEE
SAYING HONEY YOU SHOULD TRY JUST ONE OF THESE

CHORUS
…………………..

THOSE GIRLS FROM TENNESSEE / THEY GOT THE BEST OF ME / STILL NOT SATISFIED
THEY TOOK THE REST OF ME

HOW DID I GET TO BE / GAY END OF BOURBON STREET / EMPTY POCKETS AND
AN EMPTY MEMORY

LATE THE NEXT DAY IN HAIR OF the DOG MODE / HAD A DRINK AT O’BRIENS’ WITH A LOCAL NAMED JOE
HE STARTED LAUGHING AS WE TOLD OUR TALE OF WOE
JOE LAUGHED SO HARD HE NEARLY FELL OFF HIS SEAT / HE SAID THE SAME THING ONCE HAPPENED TO ME
SAID THEY AREN’T TEACHERS AND THEY’RE NOT FROM TENNESSEE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY LIKE TO TAKE TO THE STREETS / IN THEIR SCHOOL TEACHER FANTASY
BUT THEY ARE WORKING GIRLS OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE

IT’S WHAT WE GET FOR JUST - WRONG-HEADED THINKIN
RESULTING FROM – TOO DAMN MUCH DRINKIN …………..….

SHE SAID HONEY YOU SHOULD TRY JUST ONE OF THESE
AND IT SEEMED A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME…
