Eric Hisaw Under the moonlight When I was sixteen I knew everything but I learned a lesson when I turned seventeen that's what it's like to taste the gravel and glas face down on a deserted street under the moonlight down in New Orleans Grew up in a small town believing everything I was told never sweating in the summer time and the winter never got too cold but I felt a little of both sleeping out on the street Under the moonlight down in New Orleans Kid this could be your last night if you don't learn to get mean Under the moonlight down in New Orleans fell in love with a runaway girl on a November night wrapped my jacket around her fell asleep holding her tight when I woke up alone I found my pickets had been emptied Under the moonlight down in New Orleans Got a hole in my stomach to match the hole on my heart I was a pretty bright kid and I don't know how I got down this far stumbling around this sidewalk looking for something to eat under the moonlight down in New Orleans Kid this could be your last night if you don't learn to get mean Under the Moonlight down in New Orleans
