Lookin' out from a hotel room All alone on a Memphis afternoon I've been waitin' for this storm to pass Gonna clear a path and you can kiss my ass, goodbye I walk the streets where Elvis lived But they ain't never gonna crown the king And I never felt that broken hearted I left before things ever got started [Chorus] They got me on a riverboat driftin' down Oh muddy water get me out of town To that sweet Louisiana sound Underneath a neon light Another ghost down Beal street tonight I ain't out to hurt nobody But I played hand I lost all my money They've got the dogs out after me They're diggin' in the trash but there's no scent of me [Chorus] Party boys out on Bourbon streets Sweepin' them young girls right off of their feet They got those love tatoos Across their heart They've been in Mardi Gras Turn the jukebox loud as it can go Pack'em inside this our last show [Chorus: x2] Driftin' Louisiana sound Driftin' down sweet Louisiana sound
