New Orleans Songtext

von Peter Bradley Adams

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.
