You Can’t Blame Louis

Lyrics

One small town boy whose dreams were higher Thought up a plan To be a city man Out in the world Bright burned the fire Through every door He was so sure Than he ran into a problem He heard the voice inside him say "Do you believe that what you have is what you need" You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis He found a girl His heart's desire She was the first She quenched the thirst Her social whirl Did not inspire Her life divine Soon lost its shine Now he's counting every hour Wondering where she spent the night She doesn't show, it seems he'll never know You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis Take a day and trace a thought to where it all began Remember how you felt at every turn Even though reality was not part of the plan By reaching out you lit the spark forever Louis thought he'd find the answer In a world that has no soul He moved on, to learn another song You can't blame Louis Oh, Louis
