I'll Come Back to New Orleans |
The shallow water shimmers in the street light |
The neon signs can’t escape the eye |
The smell of fish and spice, a smell of which can mix so nice |
So take me back here before I die |
And the greatest infection, is that of affection |
And I wouldn’t have it any other way |
But what can I say |
Circumstance had brought her to the city |
She was left behind to try and find a cheap hotel to sleep at night |
Well hard times fell and she took to strippin' |
Just a 19 year old girl in the grasps of middle aged married men |
And the Bourbon Street bullhorn boys bellowed boasts of beautiful girls |
Who dance behind black curtains in the night |
And oh, how that stigma follows, just another slut on drugs |
And through the drunken slander, she held her pride |
And I’ll come back to New Orleans |
And I hope to find that you’re still waiting there for me |
'Cause I’ll be back in New Orleans |
If you still want me there |
She’d only been two weeks in the city |
It’d only been two nights for me |
And was it vacation high? |
It felt so real when we said goodbye |
And I hope this feeling never fades |
And the greatest infection is that of affection |
And I wouldn’t have it any other way |
In a city full of devils, I found an angel there |
And fell in love with a stripper but I never saw her dance |
And I’ll come back to New Orleans |
And I hope to find that you’re still waiting there for me |
'Cause I’ll be back in New Orleans |
If you still want me there |
And the shallow water shimmers in the street light |
The neon signs can’t escape the eye |
And the city sleeps, but I keep on stirring |
So take me back here before I die |
