New Orleans

(album: Rock N Roll Jesus - 2007)

Come on
I'm going down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
I'm going down to New Orleans and leaving all of this behind
Heading south from Detroit, I got Cajun cooking on my mind
When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
Yeah, in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
I'll be high ten, rolling 'til the early morning break daylight

A jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna start my day
But when the sun goes down we going "Bon temps roulez"
Hey

I'm going down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
I'm going down to New Orleans where the stars on the sidewalk shine
Burning through Mississippi with the Big Easy on my mind

When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
Yeah, in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
And I'm gonna party like the devil if the Neville brothers play tonight

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna make my day
Down on the Bayou singing "Hey Pocky Way"

I'm going down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
Down in New Orleans good peoples they's hard to find
I bet he's making gumbo and drinking homemade wine
A jukebox shaking and breaking down in New Orleans
I'll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen
Oh yeah, yeah
I'm going down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
Down in New Orleans good peoples they's hard to find
I bet he's making gumbo and drinking homemade wine
A jukebox shaking and breaking down in New Orleans
I'll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen
Oh yeah, yeah

I'm going down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
I'm going down to New Orleans and leaving all of this behind
If the good Lord's willing and the rivers don't start to rise

And when I get to New Orleans someone's gonna treat me right
Said in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
All the cats in the cradle gonna rock this kid tonight
Oh hey

A jukebox shaking and breaking down in New Orleans
And if you're paying for fun, a French quarter's really all you need

I'm down in New Orleans
I'm going down to New Orleans
Down to New Orleans
Down to New Orleans, yeah
Going down, down, down, down, down, down, down tonight
I'm down in New Orleans (Down in New Orleans)
I'm going down to New Orleans (Down in New Orleans)
Down to New Orleans (Down to New Orleans)
Down to New Orleans, yeah (Down to New Orleans)
Going down, down, down, down, down, down, down tonight
I said down in New Orleans (Down in New Orleans)
I'm going down to New Orleans (Down in New Orleans)
Down to New Orleans, yeah (Down to New Orleans)
Down to New Orleans (Down to New Orleans)
Going down, down, down, down, down, down, down tonight (I'm gonna town tonight, yeah)
