504 Lyrics - Hitchhike To Rhome - Old 97's

I was playing every Monday on Burgundy in some shitty little bar 

I was working on a novel called 'New Orleans Ain't No City', it's a Scar 

The heroine does heroin, the hero wears his hair just like The King 

He says, "It ain't my job to sweet talk you, my job's just to sing" 

I was loved once by a woman 

She don't love me anymore, 504, 504 

And I won't never know no woman like the one 

I'd known before 504, 504, and she don't love me anymore 

Well, the hero wears a hair-net 

From the outset he drinks Jax beer from a can 

He says, "There's something 'bout this city always gets me 

I'm a sentimental man" 

Well the heroine plays violin 

And reads her Elmore Leonard everyday 

She's the one that finds the body 

He's the one that gets away 

I was loved once by a woman 

She don't love me anymore, 504, 504 

And I won't never know no woman like the one 

I'd known before 504, 504, and she don't love me anymore 

I was loved once by a woman 

She don't love me anymore, 504, 504 

And I won't never know no woman like the one 

I'd known before 504, 504 

You know she had me singing Gospel out in the kitchen 

On the floor 504, 504, and she don't love me anymore 

No she don't love me anymore 

No she don't love me anymore, 504
