Lyrics

I am leaving Louisiana
I am driving, I don’t know where
But this highway rolls on forever
And I just might take it there

CHORUS:
This road is not long enough to leave some things behind
How many miles, Lord, does it take one to say goodbye?
To say goodbye

Those mighty waters were not forgiving
There was no Jesus to walk upon them
Heaven opened but did not save me
Took my family and left me broken

CHORUS

Sweet Redeemer, reckless Katrina, how you left me all undone
Now, I’ve no one left to pray to for and no road to lead me home

CHORUS

I am leaving Louisiana with my eyes so filled with tears
I am an orphan holding your memory
No rising waters make it disappear

This road is not long enough to leave some things behind
How many miles, Lord, does it take one
You have forsaken to say goodbye
