Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crescent City disappearing in the rear-view mirror
Just like she's always done
Spent my life running from the ghosts of the Vieux Carré
That dirty spillway water in the noonday sun
[Verse 2]
The Daughters of Charity left their mark on me
Keeping secrets, well, it just makes you feel alone
Magazine street stole from me
And I never thought I'd find my way home
[Verse 3]
Thank God for you, I thank God for you
Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you
I thank God for you, I thank God for you
Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you
[Verse 4]
I was just another junkie jonesing on a Greyhound bus
With a twenty-year ticket to a tortured mind
Sirens, sorrow, cigarette butts
My Jesus in pieces, broken as the highway lines
[Verse 5]
Thank God for you, I thank God for you
Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you
I thank God for you, I thank God for you
Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you
[Verse 6]
You gave me something no one can take away
You saw through me and loved me anyway
[Verse 7]
Oh, I thank God for you, I thank God for you
Wake up in the morning, I thank God for you
Thank God for you, I thank God for you
Wake up in the morning and I thank God for you
