Verse 3 (same chords)

Wednesday night supper at the First Baptist Church

Stranger standin' in the doorway

As they're passin' out the dessert

He said go on and pack your bags

Cause I'm here to take you home

I'm goin' back to Louisiana

And woman I ain't gonna go with out you

There's a few defining moments in every person's life

When you know what you've done wrong

And you know what you've done right

And before the congregation and her husband and her kids

She says, "How dare you even speak to me

After everything you did"...in

That's another town, that's another life
