Along the Pontchartrain

Alright
I'm sittin' here in Vegas
I got a 29 dollar room
And the lobby is outrageous
All lit up like high noon

The players keep on playin'
The wheels go round and round
And baby I can hear you sayin'
What the hell you doin' in that town

And the letter that you wrote me
Torn to pieces baby right there in the rain
Yeah, yeah
I threw the pieces in the water
Down along Lake Pontchartrain

I came out here a young boy
Just about a week or two ago
Yeah, right after I found out
Things I didn't really wanna know

I heard all about yours travels
The who's, the where's, the when's
And a piece of me unravelled
Never gonna see you again

And the letter that you wrote me
Torn to pieces baby right there in the rain
Yeah, yeah
I threw the pieces in the water
Down along the Pontchartrain

And the band keeps on playin'
The waiters bring the drinks
And the high rollers, rollin' em' all night long
I made it here I'm stayin' on, longer than you think

'Cause you sold me down the river for a song
I'm never goin' back that way again, no
Along the Pontchartrain
Yeah yeah

Along the Pontchartrain
Along the Pontchartrain

And the letter that you wrote me
Torn to pieces baby right there out in the rain
Yeah yeah
I threw the pieces in the water
Down along Lake Pontchartrain

I threw it all into the water
Yeah down along the Pontchartrain
I threw it all into the water yeah
Down along, down along the Pontchartrain
Yeah, yeah
Along the Pontchartrain
