Leaving New Orleans - Jordan Davis

I miss the Quarter

The magnolias and the Pontchartrain

French market on a Saturday

I’ll miss the feel of this place

I miss the Bayou sunrise

The Mardi Gras and the Saga 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 memory is 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 toward the Hollywood sign

All those miles to 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 memory’s 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

I’m leaving New Orleans

There’s too much of you in this town

Your memory is 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 memory is like moss in the trees

Every quarter is 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
