New Orleans Songtext / Lyric

Chasing the lights down the road

all the way to Louisiana.

He's gone 600 miles

but there's still a thousand to go.

The moon's on the horizon,

pulling his heart like the tide.

He's found a queen down in Old New Orleans

and the distance is driving him wild.

There's a thunderbird under the hood

and he'll push her as fast as she'll take him.

as the radio plays in the dark,

he'd fly if he could.

The road's never went winding

but his heart is open wide.

He's found a queen down in old New Orleans

and he can't get her out of his mind.

The sun it sneaks up from behind

and pushes from across Alabama.

The windows are down

and he's feeling the temperature climb.

He's almost to the delta

and he's traveled so far.

He's found a queen down in old New Orleans

and soon she'll be back in his arms.

He's found a queen down in old New Orleans

and soon she'll be back in his arms.

End.
