Verse 1:
D
Well I left New Orleans in a hurried fuss
E
Went to the stash and caught that [ants red bus ]
G D
I don't wanna leave you but you know I must be on the move
D
And I had a good time down on [ ] Street
E
I did some dancing with my two left feet
G D
Ate every gumbo that there was to eat, [ ] too
Chorus:
G E7
Well if you can't save your soul, gonna let the good times roll
C A7
'Cause the devil always needs another friend
G E7
Gonna take yourself a ride, you can try your best to hide
C A7
But in the mornin' you'll be feeling bad again
G A D
Have you stumblin' in that Louisiana wind

Verse 2:
D
There ain't no reason I should feel this way
E7
Guess every dog don't always have his day
G D
They got me feelin' like, man just stay life in the pine
D
And I chase my feelings down that old junk road
E7
Only because I have nowhere to go
G D
Funny how fallin' always feels so slow 'til you hit the ground
Chorus:
G E7
Well if you can't save your soul, gonna let the good times roll
C A7
'Cause the devil always needs another friend
G E7
Gonna take yourself a ride, you can try your best to hide

But in the mornin' you'll be feeling bad again

Have you stumblin' in that Louisiana wind
