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 bottlecap 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 hanging around Well the Big Easy ain't so easy Hard to say it but baby come morning I'll be rolling like the Mississippi Leaving New Orleans Well I like highways so maybe LA Is the place for me If I point these wheels T'wards a Hollywood sign All those miles can clear my mind Well I can watch a horse race On some blue grass Where the bourbon's made Get 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 hanging around Well the Big Easy ain't so easy Hard to say it but baby come morning I'll be rolling like the Mississippi Leaving New Orleans I guess our good times have rolled away Well, laissez les bons temps rouler Leaving New Orleans There's too much of you in this town Your memories like moss in the trees Every corner it's just hanging 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 hanging around Well the Big Easy ain't so easy Hard to say it but baby come morning I'll be rolling like the Mississippi Leaving New Orleans Yeah I'm leaving New Orleans Goodbye New Orleans I'm leaving New Orleans
