I left new Orleans in a rain storm Heading west I had a song hidden in the sole of my shoes and she took the rest My eyes, my money, and my peace of mind She took all the best But i gave away so much i dont know whats mine I must confess And wave goodbye to the piano man on the corner And smoke my last one down with amy from the north And sleep on the beach among the cigarettes and glass Making my way to Galveston Making my way to Galveston A wandering heart just holds you down And im tired of town after town The face of a girl i once loved keeps me up On my way to Galveston, Galveston On my way to Galveston And wave goodbye to the piano man on the corner And smoke my last one down with Amy from the north And sleep on the beach among the cigarettes and glass Making my way to Galveston, Making my way to Galveston, Making my way to Galveston Mmmmmm... mmmmmm
