| Louise you taught me love I can’t unlearn |
| But I left so long ago I can’t return |
| It’s for you and you alone I feel the pain |
| It’s for you and you alone I cry in vain |
| You know you were the sweetest thing I found |
| But I had to catch that train on out of town |
| Like that train I’m destined to this ramblin' life |
| I bear the burden of your love through these lost and lonely nights |
| But tonight, Louise |
| I’ll outrun these memories |
| Gonna laugh and dance take a chance and smile |
| I know come tomorrow you’ll be back to bring me sorrow |
| But tonight I’m letting to just for a while |
| Oooh |
| Comes a time when a man must move along |
| Down the road to all places he belongs |
| But my heart belongs to you |
| Just had to let it go |
| There’s nothing else that I could do |
| You know you were the sweetest thing I found |
| But I had to catch that train on out of town |
| Like that train I’m destined to this ramblin' life |
| I bear the burden of your love through these lost and lonely nights |
| But Louise, you were the sweetest thing I found |
| But I had to catch that train on out of town |
| Like that train I’m destined to this ramblin' life |
| I bear the burden of your love through these lost and lonely nights |
| But tonight, Louise |
| I’ll outrun these memories |
| Gonna laugh and dance take a chance and smile |
| I know come tomorrow you’ll be back to bring me sorrow |
| But tonight I’m letting to just for a while |
| Well Louise I’m letting to just for a while |
