New Orleans

[Verse 1]
She was raised upon an island in the south Atlantic
Before she started school she taught herself the magic
Now there’s not a soul alive resistant to her spells
She thought she might as well try New Orleans

[Verse 2]
Suburban boy with not much left to lose, he was hopeless
Droppin’ out of college made him choose the dope biz
Caught up in the politics of a little town cartel
He thought he could save himself in New Orleans

[Chorus]
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans

[Verse 3]
I once was making music for myself, so happy
‘Til I overheard somebody talk of wealth in the Big Easy
Now I recycle cover tunes for the posers and the Voodoo queens
We’re all just stuck, it seems, in New Orleans

[Chorus]
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans

[Chorus]
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans

[Chorus]
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans

[Outro]
Oh, New Orleans
Oh, New Orleans
Oh, New Orleans
