Crescent City disappearing in the rear-view mirror Just like she's always done Spent my life running from the ghosts of the Vieux Carré That dirty spillway water in the noonday sun The Daughters of Charity left their mark on me Keeping secrets, well, it just makes you feel alone Magazine street stole from me And I never thought I'd find my way home I thank God for you I thank God for you Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you I thank God for you I thank God for you Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you ♪ I was just another junkie jonesing on a Greyhound bus With a 20-year ticket to a tortured mind Sirens, sorrow, cigarette butts My Jesus in pieces, broken as the highway lines Thank God for you I thank God for you Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you I thank God for you I thank God for you Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you You gave me something no one can take away You saw through me and loved me anyway Oh, I thank God for you I thank God for you Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you Thank God for you I thank God for you Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you
