Take me to New Orleans

Have you ever been somewhere you wouldn’t change a thing?
Even the rats in the walls are welcome to be.
There’s only one place that I want to be, take me to New Orleans.

At the bottom of the world there’s a Mississippi Queen,
Where the passing of time it don’t mean a thing.
See there’s only one place that I want to be, take me to New Orleans.

Put on that sweet perfume and meet me down Burgundy,
Where the bourbon and laughter, they flow easy,
Just like it’s supposed to be.
Take a walk down Frenchmen Street where the music’s alive like the breeze.
Remember our love was sweet and true,
Just like New Orleans.

Got a little bit of money and nothing to pack,
well I hope and pray that I don’t turn back.
There’s only one place that I want to be, take me to New Orleans.

My true love is gone forever, but I’ll be fine in New Orleans.
