Story behind the song
I've been there several times and each time feels more and more like home
Lyrics
“New Orleans”
We walk the old and crowded streets
Of this here party town
See the steam rise up off the river
As the sun goes down
The courtyards are so seductive
With a warm soft light they flirt
And the bands that play down on Bourbon St
Get so loud sometimes they actually hurt
The Nachez blows it's whistle
As it pulls out from the dock
And all the children turn to wave hello
Up and down riverwalk
New Orleans, New Orleans
You’re a river that's bound to flood
You’re a scene right from some movie
My God you're in my blood
New Orleans, New Orleans
You will take us as we are
We may travel this big wide world
But we will never be that far
From New Orleans
The streetcars roll and rumble
As they head up old St Charles
The two-step will get perfected tonight
On the dance floor of Michauls
Inst Break
Oh, the café' Demonde down on Decatur
That's where everybody, everybody goes
The beignets get piled so high with powdered sugar
That it spills off all on to your clothes
Jackson Square is a postcard
And all the fortunes tellers know
You may come here as a tourist
But it may never let you go.
New Orleans, New Orleans
You’re a river that's bound to flood
You’re a scene right from some movie
My God you're in my blood
New Orleans, New Orleans
You will take us as we are
We may travel this big wide world
But we will never be that far
From New Orleans
