Don’t Look at My Shadow lyrics

New York City years ago
Tourists in the rain
Singin' on the swing shift
For pennies

Thinkin'bout the bayou
Cajun river song
Almost got my head broke
In Texas

Purple Peac*ck Honky-Tonk
Eunice, Louisiana
Bourbon whiskey free, son
Just tune up the piano

Workin' clubs in New Orleans
Bringin' down a dollar
College boys drink beer
And throw the bottles

It's been a long long long way
I got some more to go
Don't look at my shadow
Its behind me chorus
It's been a long long long way
In twenty years or so
Thinkin'bout those times
Might amuse me
