New Orleans

歌詞

Well I went south with a case of survival To amend my heart that's paper thin You see, I felt her words and her images filed I'm gonna carry my heart to New Orleans I have no home to go, so I wander a while From coast to coast, from sin to sin From the coldest shores to the warmest islands Been around the world, back to New Orleans Well she's got pride like a million lions She's got a scar on her velvet face She's got a smile like a newborn child She's got a walk, a stoic grace I never slept that night until my arrival I romanticized a long embrace You see, I lost my tongue and burned my Bible But made it back home to New Orleans Well she's got pride like a million lions She's got a scar on her velvet face She's got a smile like a newborn child She's got a walk, a stoic grace Well I held my breath and I swam for miles When all was lost and hell took place You see, it rained all night and the city, she flooded It rained all night in New Orleans Yeah, it rained all night in New Orleans
