When I get to Louisiana,
just a mile or more to go.
Yes, when I get to Louisiana,
just a mile or more to go,
Lord, you know i'll be alright
once I hit that station floor.

They say he's in New Orleans
doing his best to survive.
They say he's in New Orleans
doing his best to survive.
I'll be in New Orleans just
as it's turning five,

That man was the best thing-
yes, best thing I ever had.
That man was the best thing-
yes best thing I ever had.
Lord knows when I see him it will
make my heart feel glad.

When we're pulling in the station,
Lord I'll be headed for that door.
Yes, when we're pulling in the station
I'll be headed for that door.
You know I just can't wait until
I hit that station floor.

That man was the best thing-
yes, best thing I ever had.
That man was the best thing-
yes best thing I ever had.
Lord knows when I see him it will
make my heart feel glad.

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Whoa Faith let's get out some slide acoustic guitar and make this baby sing.
You got the best blues format and I can see this goin down great as a parallel to a traditional. 12 bar blues this works!

I can hear Sue Foley singin this or maybe even Bonnie Raite.

Great work girl!

I concur with Eric, except for the Bonnie Rait part, I wrote a poem about her that I'll have to post.

When you get to New Orleans I'm about an hour away.

I see more of Shania Twain when I read this. Makes me wish I had a good man. LOL

What about Eric on the guitar and Faith on the vocals? That's how I hear it. This is lovely, Faith.
