Şarkı sözleri
t's sunrise,
A southern enticement
I'm on The Avenue
As streetcars churn
And sweet aromas rise,
The city comes to life
The full scene,
It comes to view.
As I walk on
To the French Market
With cafe au lait
In hand
It strikes me
Like a lightning bolt
Just how much I've missed
This beautiful land.
Oh, NOLA
What are you doing to me?
As I pine for you?
Oh, NOLA
What are you trying to say to me?
You know,
I'll always come back to you.
I walk on
Up on the levee
I look up
At the river above
There's something strange
About this place
Where down is up
south is north,
And folks wear a bag for luck.
Oh, NOLA
What are you doing to me?
As I pine for you?
Oh, NOLA
What are you trying to say to me?
You know,
I'll always come back to you.
I was raised
Under your arbors
You took me in your arms
You Cradled me
With southern hospitality
You wanted me to belong.
I spent eighteen years
In frustration
Trying to get away
But now another
twenty something
Fighting to remain
It's ironic how you can't notice
What's been staring you in the eyes
It takes a little distance
To miss those joys you once despised
Oh, NOLA
What are you doing to me?
As I pine for you?
Oh, NOLA
What are you trying to say to me?
You know,
I'll always come back to you.
There's Beignets and boiled crawfish
A Mardi Gras parade
Abita beer, a shrimp po-boy
Cruising down (West) Esplanade
Friday nights in Skipper blue
Sailing on Pontchartrain
Pontchatoula strawberries
God bless the New Orleans Saints
Oh, NOLA
What are you doing to me?
As I pine for you?
Oh, NOLA
What are you trying to say to me?
You know,
I'll always come back to you.
Emeril's And Jazz Fest
Commanders, Brendan's, Palace Cafe
Is it Cafe Du Monde or Morning Call?
It doesn't matter (since) it's always late
Oh, NOLA
What are you doing to me?
As I pine for you?
Oh, NOLA
What are you trying to say to me?
You know,
I'll always come back to you.
Trumpets blare
At Preservation Hall
Hurricanes
On Bourbon Street
Audubon and city park
There's always a place to meet.
And we're going back
From where we came
You think it's fun
You think it's great
God bless the New Orleans Saints
Geaux Tigers
Death Valley at home
Better Than Ezra, babe
Tipitina's back when all the bands played
