Louisiana Song

Do you remember the time 
we drove out to Lousiana?
To my father's beach house? I got us so lost.
I knew right then because you never got angry
when we reached the city, 
and there weren't any rooms left.

So we slept outside under sulphur lights
in the drugstore parking lot.
All the stars came out, it was getting cold.
But inside, it was so hot. So hot...

It had been four years since the time
that I really knew you
when you suddenly called me, I was so happy.
Cuz you were doing all the things 
you said you would do.
I couldn't believe it, that someone could be so true.

When you looked the other way I made a film
about someone just like you.
Said the things you said. Did the things you did
and I played myself. 
See we were really together all that time
all that time...

Do you remember the time 
we drove out to Lousiana?
To my father's beach house? I got us so lost.
I knew right then I loved you 
cuz you never got angry
when we reached the city, 
and there weren't any rooms left.
The streets were empty.
