New Orleans

When I go to New Orleans

See a show that my daddy ain't seen

Will all my childhood troubles surface?

Will my ghosts catch up to me?

When I go, won't you throw me a farewell party?

In the dark, I found my truth

You pulled me out with your rhythm and blues

And if I face that opposition

My decisions will ring true

When I go, won't you let me kiss and hug you?

Send me down your river

I wanna get what I deserve

If you go first

Then I'll get to work

And send you down there too

If you go first

I'll head down to the Church

And maybe even pray for you

When I go to New Orleans

Won't you tell the boys

That I'm, I'm living my dream

And though I know I don't deserve it

Well I'm grateful for their love

Oh, when I go, won't you throw me a farewell party?

When I go, won't you throw me a farewell party?
