New Orleans...pour toi, see you soon!


It's been too long since I've stumbled your streets
Too long since we danced cheek to cheek
Too long since the sun's come up
While we're awake, Bourbon punch drunk

Steered clear for almost two years
All the while you've been in tears
I'm too scared as to what she's become
A great place to visit, but not to call home

If I could take back all that I've said
When I was slipping out of your bed
That this was never meant to be
When in fact it was you who set me free

You still blow and you still play
But today is a different day
No one cares and no one takes note
That this gem is barely afloat

Only that with you there is no judge
Just a little wink wink and nudge nudge
We lived in a naïve bliss
Hush hush, kiss kiss

If I could take back all that I've said
When I was slipping out of your bed
That this was never meant to be
When in fact it was you who set me free

Well I wish I was in New Orleans
Surrounded by gorgeous Dixie queens
I can still taste those days
Memories clouded in Purple Haze

If I could take back all that I've said
When I was slipping out of your bed
That this was never meant to be
When in fact it was you who set me free

It's been too long since I've stumbled your streets
Too long since we danced cheek to cheek
Too long since the sun's come up
While we're awake, Bourbon punch drunk

You brought me to the highest high's and the lowest low's
What it is about you, nobody knows
So to you I raise this toast
One could find a better lover
But never a better host
