Bienville

[Verse 1]
North through Oklahoma to visit the folks
East across 40, already half full
Memphis in the daytime is hotter than hell
Bound for New Orleans and the Bienville Hotel

[Verse 2]
Down through the Delta, the Dockery farms
Saw the devil in the moonlight spinnin' a yarn
The night down in Yazoo we both rested well
Dreamin' 'bout crawfish and the Bienville Hotel

[Chorus]
All of my life, I prayed I would find
Another lost soul with a travelin' mind
The years spent wishin' left me ill-prepared
For the Bienville Hotel and the time that we shared

[Verse 3]
The old Crescent City buzzed like a sign
Full of the faithful, sunlight, and wine
But the moment we laid eyes, our hearts gently fell
We checked in and [?] to the Bienville Hotel

[Chorus]
All of my life, I prayed I would find
Another lost soul with a travelin' mind
The years spent wishin' left me ill-prepared
For the Bienville Hotel and the time that we shared

[Verse 4]
Ever the rebels, [oppress your luck teen?]
We dropped our last twenty into a dollar machine
When the wheels stopped rollin' there were no ringin' bells
Back to the showers at the Bienville Hotel

[Chorus]
All of my life, I prayed I would find
Another lost soul with a travelin' mind
The years spent wishin' left me ill-prepared
For the Bienville Hotel and the time that we shared

[Outro]
As we grow old together, one story I'll tell
Is how we got back home from the Bienville Hotel
