Lyrics

[Verse 1] North through Oklahoma to visit the folks East across 40, already half full Memphis in the daytime is hotter than hell Bound for New Orleans and the Bienville Hotel [Verse 2] Down through the Delta, the Dockery farms Saw the devil in the moonlight spinnin' a yarn The night down in Yazoo we both rested well Dreamin' 'bout crawfish and the Bienville Hotel [Chorus] All of my life, I prayed I would find Another lost soul with a travelin' mind The years spent wishin' left me ill-prepared For the Bienville Hotel and the time that we shared [Verse 3] The old Crescent City buzzed like a sign Full of the faithful, sunlight, and wine But the moment we laid eyes, our hearts gently fell We checked in and [?] to the Bienville Hotel [Chorus] All of my life, I prayed I would find Another lost soul with a travelin' mind The years spent wishin' left me ill-prepared For the Bienville Hotel and the time that we shared [Verse 4] Ever the rebels, [oppress your luck teen?] We dropped our last twenty into a dollar machine When the wheels stopped rollin' there were no ringin' bells Back to the showers at the Bienville Hotel [Chorus] All of my life, I prayed I would find Another lost soul with a travelin' mind The years spent wishin' left me ill-prepared For the Bienville Hotel and the time that we shared [Outro] As we grow old together, one story I'll tell Is how we got back home from the Bienville Hotel
