Sun was comin' up on New Orleans

When I opened my eyes It was another perfect morning

I didn't know where I was or where I was going

For most of my life If there was a chance to fuck it up...

A ridiculous existence Now I'm looking back

All kinds of thoughts come to me

But all I can think is I'm sorry

repeat this 4 times....

And let the truth be known...
I've got to walk around In my own tennis shoes

The truth be known
I've had to learn to live In this world on my own

Let the truth be known
Nobody showed me How it's supposed to go

Let the truth be known
I've learned to walk around
In my own tennis shoes.....

well Look at me now It's pretty hard to believe it
That pitiful boy You can barely see him
I don't beg nothing from no one Mow my lawn on the weekends
Just a regular guy now From the gutters of New Orleans
