(Clint Black/Jimmy Buffett)

I think I ll go back down to New Orleans
Try to bury my travelin bone
Unpredictable melike I swore I would be
Nothing s ever written in stone
There s a knock on her dooris she here anymore
I guess me and the neighbors will see
If the one thing that I couldn t do without her
She couldn t do without me.

Could I leave her behindgo on losin my mind
While the good times continue to roll
With this time on my handsI can change all my plans
And it really wouldn t bother a soul
I can make all the roundspaint all the towns
Do all that and more on my own
But a man can t survive on happiness alone.

Take a good look aroundthis is New Orleans
A free wheeler s got to feel right at home
But it s a hell of a leapwhether shallow or deep
That old river s gonna keep movin on
Like that muddy Mississippishe keeps pullin me under
When you re in itnothin ever seems clear
I could stand on the bank just toss in my line
But there s way too many fish around here.

Could I leave em behind for the one on the line
Are the good times still gonna roll
And with this time on my handsI can change all my plans
And it really wouldn t bother a soul
I can make all the roundspaint all the towns
Do all that and more on my own
But a man can t survive on happiness alone...
