1.Queen Of New Orleans
She said baby our love's just like your songs
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong
It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on
She sang Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone
And she was gone
Me and Leigh met summer of '95
In a burgundy dress lookin' finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin' fine
She said 'You want to drive me home'
But what I didn't know...
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the
Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - It was almost like a dream
That night I made a move, man I felt hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car
Nothing's what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the
Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - It was almost like a dream
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the
Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing with the Queen down Bourbon St.
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the
Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, Ooh - Dancing with the Queen down Bourbon St.
Ooh, Ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
2.Destination Anywhere
Hey babe, it's me parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old in this sleepy, dead-end town
Destination anywhere - Name the place, I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Baby, we both been running uphill for too long
We both settled for something, got nothing
And we both know that it's wrong
Go on admit it if we lived it
I'm leaving, get your boots and come on
I've got my coat and my keys
I need you next to me then I'm gone, come on
Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Baby we'll just disappear like the sun, ooh...
When these wheels spin, baby they can all eat our dust
As far as I'm concerned, this whole town lost its nuts
We won't be here when they put us down
It's our big chance, I'm calling you now
They'll never let us go unless we try
I'm tired of living just to die
We're getting out of here, destination anywhere
Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear chase the sun
Come on, come on, come on

It was another day
Perfect Texas afternoon
Mother and two children played the way they always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
Mother and her son
Against the little girl of six years old, the independent one
Now the deputies went door to door
Through all the neighbourhood
They said, 'I got some new to tell you folks I'm afraid it ain't
so good
Somehow something happened
Someone got away
Someone got the answers for what happened here today'
Oh no, Oh no
Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7, 4:15
God closed his eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
Now the people from the papers
And the local TV news
Tried to find the reason, cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted 'Hit and run'
The coroner cried foul
Her blue dress is what she wore the day they laid her body down
Oh no, Oh no
Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7, 4:15
God closed his eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
Oh no, no, no, no, no
I know tonight that there's an angel
Up on Heaven's highest hill
No-one there can hurt baby, no-one ever will
Somewhere someone's conscience
Is like a burning bed
The flames are all around you, How are you gonna sleep again?
Oh no, Oh no
Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7, 4:15
God closed his eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7, 4:15
God closed his eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
4:15, 4:15
4:15, 4:15
4:15, 4:15
4:15
4.It's Just Me
You know your favorite old pair of shoes
The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose
Your favorite record that's all scratched and used
But still you love to play when your feeling blue
That faded rose that's all dried out
Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without
Your high school pic when you had wild hair
That stormy day on the beach that got us here
Oh, you better believe there's just one thing you need
Can't you see...
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
If there's just one thing that you should keep
In your book of dreams
It's just me baby
Just like a shadow 10 feet tall
Standing right behind you should you fall
I'll be the one to hold you up to walk
When this wicked world makes us want to crawl
Abd if your waves should ever break at sea
I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach
I'm that same old dog, scratching those same fleas
I'll be by your side, you can count on me
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
If there's just one thing that you should keep
In your book of dreams
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me
Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks
Every time you go away
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
If there's just one thing that you should keep
In your book of dreams
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me
And if someday some new memory comes along
Looking shiny new, feeling really strong
You can tell him that I'll tell him
He can just move on
I'm a fighter - I've been fighting for you all night long
It's just me baby
