Leaving New Orleans

I'll miss the Quarter

The Magnolias and the Pontchartrain

And the French Market on a Saturday

I'll miss the feel of this place

I'll miss the bayou sunrise

The Mardi Gras and the Second Lines

Bourbon, jazz, sidewalk kids

With bottle cap taps, dancing for tips

But I'm, leaving New Orleans

There's too much of you in this town

Your memories like moss in the trees

Every corner, it's just hangin' around

Well, the Big Easy ain't so easy

Hard to say it but baby, come morning

I'll be rollin' like the Mississippi

Leaving New Orleans

Well, I like highways

So maybe L.A. is the place for me

If I point these wheels

Towards the Hollywood sign

All those miles can clear my mind

Or I could watch a horse race

On some Bluegrass where bourbon's made

Catch some rays in the Sunshine State

Hit Seattle if I need a little rain, but I'm

Leaving New Orleans

There's too much of you in this town

Your memories like moss in the trees

Every corner, it's just hangin' around

Well, the Big Easy ain't so easy

Hard to say it but baby, come morning

I'll be rollin' like the Mississippi

Leaving New Orleans

I guess our good times have rolled away

Well, laissez les bons temps rouler

I’m leaving New Orleans

There's too much of you in this town

Your memories like moss in the trees

Every corner, it's just hangin' around

Well, the Big Easy ain't so easy

Hard to say it but baby, come morning

Yeah, I'm leaving New Orleans

There's too much of you in this town

Your memories like moss in the trees

Every corner, it's just hangin' around

Well, the Big Easy ain't so easy

Hard to say it but baby, come morning

I'll be rollin' like the Mississippi

Leaving New Orleans

Yeah, I'm leaving New Orleans

Goodbye, New Orleans
