[Verse 1]
Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin
That anybody can look in
If he wants to see me

[Verse 2]
Temptation is a game
And sin is much the same
I can't leave my need
It's safe to say that my need
Just won't leave me

[Chorus]
Way over town
The back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean, yeah
And all the ladies come from New Orleans, yeah

[Verse 3]
I'm just a patient man
Receivin' what he can
I go to sleep at dawn
Wake up and write a song
And who could blame me, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Way over town
The back road takes you down
It's such a tired dream
But the sheets are cool and clean
And all the ladies taste like New Orleans, yeah, hoo

[Verse 1]
Everything is known
There's only clothes upon my bone
My skin's so thin
That anybody (Anybody) can look in
If they want to see me, yeah

[Outro]
If they want to see me, yeah
If they want to see me, yeah, yeah
