New Orleans Lyrics

I imagine peddlers on cobblestone streets

Dive bars with cheap guitars and smells like whiskey neat

I love jazz and I love blues and you know that I do

You always wished you'd taken me, taken me with you

I wonder what the streets are like

The night a shade of blue

I would have loved New Orleans

When I had you

Would you take me dancing down by Jackson square

Willows float above our heads, I would have loved it there

Don't think that I could go there now cause you'd be in my head

It's funny how you taint things without even touching them

Is Bourbon street still beautiful when the lights go down

I bet you are the purest thing that roams within this town

I wonder what the streets like

The night a shade of blue

I would have loved New Orleans

When I had you

I wanted to go with you just to see you smile

Even if that means that you're no longer mine

Just tell me when you pack your bags and head so far down south

So that I can know that you're so happy now

Is Bourbon street still beautiful when the lights go down

I bet you are the purest thing that roams within this town

I wonder what the city's like

The night a shade of blue

I would have loved New Orleans

I would have loved New Orleans

I would have loved New Orleans

When I had you
