|
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 follow |
|
I'm gonna carry my heart to |
|
New Orleans |
|
I have no home to go so |
|
I wander awhile |
|
From coast to coast, from sin to sin |
|
From the coldest shores to the warmest islands |
|
I've been around the world, back to |
|
New Orleans |
|
Well, she's got a 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 gotta 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 |
|
BibleBut made it back home to |
|
New Orleans |
|
Well, she's got a 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 gotta 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 |
|
Yeah, it rained all night in |
|
New Orleans |
|
Yeah, it rained all night in |
|
New Orleans |
