Louise Leave Louisiana With Me

Does New Orleans crush you

Squash your blistered hope

Her waves destroy weak levies

Crack ceramic souls

Does she chant Dylan’s last words

Prey on Mocking Birds

Pollute your virgin marsh lands

Stain Katrina on your hands



I'll kiss like Romeo

Paint sky like Vince Van Gogh

Take Tucson out for tea

Louise leave Louisiana with me


Can her surging memory

Jog our morning walk

Let's strut in Grenich Village

Sing when we can't talk

Wanna' climb peaks in Tibet

Tan on liner decks

Hide out in Colorado

Raise a child before we’re old


I'll kiss like Romeo

Paint sky like Vince Van Gogh

Take Tucson out for tea

Louise leave Louisiana with me


I know you want to

It flashes in your satin eyes

And when I touch you

It whispers from your flame inside


I'll kiss like Romeo

Paint sky like Vince Van Gogh

Take Tucson out for tea

Louise leave Louisiana

Louise leave Louisiana with me
