Merle Haggard — Sin City Blues

I've been making the scenes down here in New Orleans Where the old Mardi Gras makes the news It's hard to believe I'd ever want to leave And I'm living with the Sin City blues I'm tired of the town, through hanging around Too many women to choose I'm sick up and fed, need to leave, clear my head I'm leaving with the Sin City blues I'm gonna let this old Sin City go I'm gonna move up north to Idaho Maybe settle down Coeur D'Alene Make myself a new home in the rain I'm tired of the sleaze and I'm tired of the tease Burn out on that Bourbon Street blues I love rice and beans, but I'm leaving New Orleans Leaving with the Sin City blues Well, it's goodbye Louisian', I've stood all I can Did that neon lights, did a few These times aren't a lot of fun, I got leaving to get done Leaving with the Sin City blues And I'm gone now I'm leaving with the Sin City blues
