Well I stood there and let her happen
She isn't there for just me
She wrapped her legs around my neck
And pulled me in so I could see

Well words have been thrown around
As far as god's eyes have seen
But words are not enough for this lost woman
Introduced as New Orleans

For a minute I was lost inside
Well I thought she was the one
But I was just another boy
A paid customer, I signed my name in blood

Louise, can you see Anna walk into the trap?
Well I parked my car on Bourbon Street and I tried to take a nap
Louise, can you see Anna?
Well she is thinking that she’ll stay
And I am standing next to her
Well I’ll leave another day

Well she stands around with her cajun style
She played her collection of jazz and blues
I guess it was her brown young eyes
That put me in the mood

And Anna held my hand so tight
At least until I was convinced
I told Louise that I'd be fine
But I think she saw me slip

Louise, can you see Anna walk into the trap?
Well I parked my car on Bourbon Street and I tried to take a nap
Louise, can you see Anna?
She is thinking that she’ll stay
And I am standing next to her
Well I’ll leave another day
But I won’t leave today
I won’t leave today

Listen, I've been wandering out there on Bourbon Street
From sun up, to sun down
And daylight serves no purpose
In Louise and Anna's town

Well home is too far away now
So I guess I'm spending time
And I will let New Orleans swallow me whole
And spit me out when I die

Louise, can you see Anna walk into the trap?
Well I parked my car on Bourbon Street and I tried to take a nap
Yea Louise, can you see Anna?
She is thinking that she’ll stay
But I am standing next to her
Well I’ll leave another day
But I won’t leave today
Whoa I won’t leave today
I won’t leave today
