G                           D
He was twenty-five, she was twenty-eight,

       C                              D7
He was home grown country, she'd just pulled off the interstate

    G                        D
She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas,

        C                   D7                 G         D
She was obviously lost, but too afraid to ask,,directions

      G                          D
So he offered her a smile, and a stick of Beech Nut gum,

              C                             D7
He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from?

D7

    G       D                    C     D7
New Orleans,,,but that's another story

First she stayed a day, then she stayed a week,

C                                D7
Couple of months later they were living on his parent's street

G                          D
He worked the station, and she worked the store

C
And then they had a baby,

    D7                       G              D
and then they had one more,, little Jesse

G                                    D
When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out

        C
All the ladies had their questions

              D7
But they knew not to ask about
[Chorus]
    G       D                    C     D7

G                              D
Wednesday night supper, at the First Baptist Church

C                                            D7
Stranger standin' in the doorway, as they're passin' out the dessert

        G
He said go on and pack your bags

D
Cause I'm here to take you home

    C
I'm goin' back to Louisiana

          D7                        G  C  D
And woman I ain't gonna go with out you
[Bridge]
G                              D
There's a few defining moments in every person's life

C
When you know what you've done wrong

        D7
And you know what you've done right

    G                               D
And before the congregation and her husband and her kids

          C
She says, "How dare you even speak to me

      D7
After everything you did" in
[Chorus]
    G       D                    C     D7

New Orleans,,,that's another time,

               D7                   G        D
That's another town,,that's another life

               C
that's another time

               D7                   G
That's another town, that's another life
