Leaving Louisiana

[Verse 1]
There'll be an empty seat next to mama
During Sunday's Amazing Grace
One less cowbell ringing
Cheering the Rebels on to State
One cold barstool at the Bayview
One less tip for Miss Lila Saint
'Cause this small town without you
Just don't feel the same
It don't feel the same

[Chorus]
So I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed straight for Tennessee
Gonna try to start things over
Put some miles between you and me
Guess Heaven knows I've tried it all
And there's nothing left to do
So maybе leaving Louisiana
Will get me ovеr you

[Verse 2]
There'll be one more Broadway singer
And one more one night stand
There'll be one more lonesome cowboy
Writing songs you'll never hear
One more waiter flippin' tables
Just so he can pay his rent
But there's no way it'll be as hard as staying here

[Chorus]
So I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed straight for Tennessee
Gonna try to start things over
Put some miles between you and me
Guess Heaven knows I've tried it all
And there's nothing left to do
So maybe leaving Louisiana
Will get me over you

[Bridge]
Little more every day
'Cause I can't take this town without you
I'm loaded down
I'm headed out
I'll put it all in the rearview
I hope you stay there too

[Chorus]
So I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed straight for Tennessee
Gonna try to start things over
Put some miles between you and me
Guess Heaven knows I've tried it all
And there's nothing left to do
So maybe leaving Louisiana
Will get me over you
Will get me over you
Will get me over you
