Rayne, Louisiana

So long Rayne, Louisiana
 Never see me no more
 Hundred dollars thirty days in the slammer
 I'd rather hit the road
 I found I'm goin' crazy
 Every day here the same
 I'm bound to go to the city
 Where nobody knows my name
 How many days can I walk this road
 From the levee to the farm
 Wake up in the morning in the same old place
 Only the leavin' is left in gone
 So long New Orleans
 Nothing but a waste of time
 Hot nights down in the quarter
 Took me my last dime
 Well I count the waves in the water
 Just like an old drunk bum
 Deep down Mississippi river
 Where's it all come from
 How many days can you spend in the shadows
 Hidin' from the sun
 Waitin' for the night to lay your money
 On a point that never comes
 So long New York City
 My dreams are dead and gone
 No heart no damn pity
 I believe I'm headed home
 One time before I'm leavin'
 I'm gonna roll them dice
 If it comes in I got no worries
 If I lose I lose my life
 How many days can I spend in the middle
 Of the black concrete and cars
 Been so cruel and care so little
 Bout a man that's come so far
