Layered recording - all instruments by Nicholas St. James.

lyrics

There’s a man, in New Orleans
He walks with a cane and a gun
His family, there’re from Southeastern Texas
They might as well be dead and gone
He shuffles through the narrow alley
Until he finds his love
And he pulls a fistful from his front shirt pocket
And a belt, to tie his arm up

Lord, is it like this everywhere?
Tell me, is anyone keeping score up there?
‘Cause I don’t know how to live in this world

There’s a woman in New York City
She sets her own hours at work
She hollers and she struts and boy, she sure looks pretty
But it ain’t as easy as it looks
She’ll land a man, one that’s lonely
With just a little bit of luck
And he’ll use her to make himself happy
But a girl, she gotta make a buck

Lord, is it like this everywhere
Tell me, is anyone keeping score up there?
‘Cause I don’t know how to live in this world

(solo)

There’s a man in ol’ Saint Louie
He’s got a face like mine
He walks and he talks and he breaths just like me
The same, even side-by-side
He drinks and he drinks and he drinks and he drinks
He drinks until his head it feels fine
My wife and my family, they all love me
But even they know that it’s time

Lord, is it like this everywhere
Tell me, is anyone keeping score up there?
‘Cause I don’t know how to live in this world
