Bourbon Street

(album: Downtime - 2023)

Can I buy you a drink
She said no, I just wanna walk with you a while
Said baby that's cool, just talkin to you
I could go on like this for miles

Left a dive bar
10 pm
Grabbed my guitar and count my tips
Headed on back to the riverside motel

I saw an angel
Through the cigar smoke
In all that noise, that one hello
Was a little bit of heaven in a whole town raising hell
And I said

Can I buy you a drink
She said no, I just wanna walk with you a while
Said baby that's cool, just talkin to you
I could go on like this for miles
Cobblestone cold sober
Gettin high on getting closer
Didn't need whiskey for you and me
To have the wildest night on Bourbon street

Can't remember them throwing beads
The jazz band or the magnolia breeze
But I still hear every word you said to me

Ain't it funny
In a town chalked full of one night stands
I'm still right here holdin your hand
And what's wild is
That first kiss
Started with

Can I buy you a drink
She said no, I just wanna walk with you a while
Said baby that's cool, just talkin to you
I could go on like this for miles
Cobblestone cold sober
Gettin high on getting closer
Didn't need whiskey for you and me
To have the wildest night on Bourbon street

Can I buy you a drink
She said no, I just wanna walk with you a while
That party down in New Orleans stood still when you smiled
Cobblestone cold sober
Gettin high on getting closer
Didn't need whiskey for you and me
To have the wildest night on Bourbon street
