The end of the summer, down in New Orleans

Should've called, got caught up in the scene

Ain't nothin' wrong, ain't a damn thing right

Gonna be comin' home but baby, not tonight

The reason I'm stayin' is everything's swayin'

It feels too good to leave

Pay all the bullshit, send me the receipts

I don't know where I'll be

The bayou's callin', the gypsy's out tonight

French Quarter lamps are burnin'

Lamps are burning bright

Now I'm the kind of man

That will throw caution to the wind, all night long

I'll be here 'til the end

The caravan awaits me in a place within my mind

Wish you could be here, oh another time

Whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the pushin', and huggin', and pushin', and

tuggin'

And whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the pissin' and moanin', and jerkin' me off

I said whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

Oh, ain't life grand

Ohh whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the drinkin', and takin', and fakin' it all

I said, whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the touchin', and feelin', and bumpin', and

squealin'

Now whoo, hoo, oh yeah, ain't life grand

All the kickin', and screamin', all the lyin', and

cheatin'

Now, whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

Ain't life grand, ain't life grand

Ain't it grand baby?

Ain't life grand baby

Ain't life grand mama

Sweet daddy grand

Mama grand, brother grand, woman grand

Papa grand, granny grand

Baby grand

Oh I need a damn gram
