New Orleans |
He was twenty-five she was twenty-eight |
He was homegrown and she’d just pulled off the interstate |
She bought a Dr. Pepper ten dollars worth of gas |
She was obviously lost but too afraid to ask directions |
So he offered her a smile |
And a stick of Beech-Nut gum |
He said, ''Where you headed to girl |
Where you coming from?'' |
She said, ''New Orleans but that’s another story |
New Orleans, that’s another time |
That’s another town, that’s another life.'' |
First she stayed a day then she stayed a week |
Couple of months later they were living on his parents street |
He worked the station and she worked the store |
And then they had a baby and then they had one more, little Jesse |
When she dropped the kids off at the mothers day out |
All the ladies had their questions and knew not to ask about |
New Orleans but that’s another story |
New Orleans, that’s another time |
That’s another town, that’s another life |

Wednesday night supper at the first Baptist Church |
Stranger standing in the door way as they’re passing out the dessert |
He said, ''Go on pack your bags, I’m here to take you home |
I’m going back to Louisiana and woman I ain’t gonna go without you.'' |
There’s a few defining moments in every persons 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.'' |
And New Orleans that’s another story |
New Orleans, that’s another time |
That’s another town, that’s another life |
New Orleans that’s another story |
New Orleans, that’s another time |
That’s another town, that’s another life… |
