New Orleans 歌词

He was 25 She was 28 He was home-grown country She just pulled off the interstate She bought a Dr. Pepper And ten dollars worth of gas She was obviously lost And too afraid to ask directions So he offered her a smile And a stick of beachnut gum He said, "Where you headed to girl? Where you comin' from?" chorus: She said, "New Orleans But that's another story New Orleans But that's another time, that's another town, that's anotherlife" First she stayed a day Then she stayed a week A couple months later they were Livin' on his parents' street He worked the station And she worked the store Then they had a baby And then they had one more, little Jesse When she dropped the kids off At the mothers' day out All the ladies had their questions But knew not to ask about New Orleans 'Cause that's another story New Orleans That's another time, that's another town, that's another life Wednesday night supper At the First Baptist Church A stranger standing in the doorway As they're passing out dessert He said, "Go and pack your bags 'Cause I'm here to take you home We're going back to Louisiana Woman I ain't gonna go without you" There's a few defining moments In every person's life When you know what you've done wrong An you know what you've done right Before the congregation Her husband and her kids She said, "How dare you even speak to me After everything you did in New Orleans But that's another story New Orleans But that's another time, that's another town, that's anotherlife
