Moes Haven — Keep An Eye Open On the Way Downtown lyrics

Lyrics

Well there’s a story here somewhere
There’s a lesson to be learned
My Marie she up and left me, never to return
Beneath the dress that she never wore
She never promised me nothing
Because I guess she was never sure
Oh, Keep an eye open on the way downtown
Oh, Keep an eye open on the way downtown
Before I left the state
I jotted a note on the wall
Tellin' her she could find me in New Orleans
If she ever wants to get away from it all
Well it was happily ever after and then
Her kids are calling him 'dad' again
I knocked and I knocked, but I couldn’t get in
I guess I never deserved to be the
So I’m headin' on down to New Orleans
Forget about love, forget about dreams
Every girl I see will be my sweet Marie
Oh, Keep an eye open on the way downtown
Oh, Keep an eye open on the way downtown
Keep an eye open on the way downtown
Keep an eye open on the way downtown
Well it was happily ever after and then
Her kids are calling him 'dad' again
I knocked and I knocked, but I couldn’t get in
I guess I never deserved to be the
So I’m headin' on down to New Orleans
Forget about love, forget about dreams
Every girl I see will be my sweet Marie
On the way downtown
