"Galveston" lyrics

I left new Orleans in a rain storm
Heading west
I had a song hidden in the sole of my shoes and she took the rest
My eyes, my money, and my peace of mind
She took all the best
But I gave away so much I don't know what's mine
I must confess
And wave goodbye to the piano man on the corner
And smoke my last one down with Amy from the north
And sleep on the beach among the cigarettes and glass
Making my way to Galveston
Making my way to Galveston

A wandering heart just holds you down
And I'm tired of town after town
The face of a girl I once loved keeps me up
On my way to Galveston, Galveston
On my way to Galveston

And wave goodbye to the piano man on the corner
And smoke my last one down with Amy from the north
And sleep on the beach among the cigarettes and glass
Making my way to Galveston, Making my way to Galveston
Making my way to Galveston

Mmmmmm... mmmmmm
