Went to New Orleans and went
Woke up this morning and it occurred

Laid in my bed too long,

Ben's my friend but getting
Tryna park and getting up the hill
And find a spot amongst the drunk
Staring at the back at the crowd

Now he's singing at the Greek
and he's busting moves

And we laughed and it was alright

And a guy with a gut hangin'
Everybody was 20 years

At least I leave with this as my fondest memory
I carried my legs back down the hill
Gave my backstage pass to two
I drove to my place near Tahoe

to the crickets
And Ben's still out there,
selling lots of tickets
