Songtext New orleans Peter Bradley Adams

New orleans

Chasin' the lights down the road
Other way Louisiana
He's gone six hundred miles
But there's still a thousand to go

The moon's on the horizon
Pullin' his heart like the tide
He's found a queen down in old New Orleans
And the distance is drivin' him blind

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 narrow and winding
But his heart is open wide
He's found the 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 feelin' 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 queens down in old New Orleans
And soon she'll be back in his arms
