Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin that anybody can look in
If he wants to see me
Temptation is a game
And sin, it is much the same
I can't leave my need
And it's safe to say that
My need just won't leave me
Way over town the back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies come from New Orleans
I'm just a patient man
Receiving what he can
I go to sleep at dawn
Wake up and write a song
And who could blame me
Way over town the back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies taste like New Orleans
Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin that anybody (anybody) can look in
If they want to see me
If they want to see me
If they want to see me
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin that anybody can look in
If he wants to see me
Temptation is a game
And sin, it is much the same
I can't leave my need
And it's safe to say that
My need just won't leave me
Way over town the back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies come from New Orleans
I'm just a patient man
Receiving what he can
I go to sleep at dawn
Wake up and write a song
And who could blame me
Way over town the back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies taste like New Orleans
Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin that anybody (anybody) can look in
If they want to see me
If they want to see me
If they want to see me
