[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'd give this last wrinkled dollar
In my pocket that I earned
With a hammer and vice
If I could undo some things
And grow me some wings
Fly out of this quarter tonight

[Verse 2]
Yeah, tonight, every man with a TV
Is seein' my clothes
Seein' my face
In the last thirty minutes
I've gone from a person of interest
To a full-blown manhunt underway

[Pre-Chorus]
I did what I did
I have no regrets
When you cross the line
You get what you get

[Chorus]
Tonight, a bleeding memory
Is tomorrow's guilty vein
Your auburn hair on a faraway sea wall
Screamin' 'cross the Pontchartrain
I'm haunted by headlights
And a Crescent City breeze
One wrong turn on Bourbon
Cuts like the knives of New Orleans
[Verse 3]
I'm a ghost dodging bullets
In all of these alleys
Just lookin' for my getaway key
Wrapped up in the night
Hidin' out in plain sight
This grip's getting tight around me

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't no gettin' out
That I can see
They'll take me dead
If they ever take me

[Chorus]
Tonight, a bleeding memory
Is tomorrow's guilty vein
Your auburn hair on a faraway sea wall
Screamin' 'cross the Pontchartrain
I'm haunted by headlights
And a Crescent City breeze
One wrong turn on Bourbon
Cuts like the knives of New Orleans
Of New Orleans

[Bridge]
What I wouldn't do
For just one more kiss
I'm all out of time
Honey, it's come down to this
[Chorus]
I'm haunted by your hazel eyes
And a Crescent City breeze
One wrong turn on Bourbon
Cuts like the knives of New Orleans

[Outro]
I did what I did
I did what I did
I did what I did
I did what I did
