Toby Keith - New Orleans lyrics

rate me

(Mark D. Sanders/Bob Dipiero/Steve Seskin)

He was twenty-five, she was twenty-eight

He was home grown country, she'd just pulled off the interstate

She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas

She was ovbiously lost but too afraid to ask directions

So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum

He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from

She said

New Orleans but that's another story

New Orleans that's another time

That's another town, that's another life

First she stayed a day then she stayed a week

Couple of months later they were living on his parent's street

He worked the station and she worked the store

And then they had a baby and

Then they had one more little Jesse

When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out

All the ladies had their questions

But they knew not to ask about

New Orleans but 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

Stranger standin' in the doorway

As they're passin' out the dessert

He said go on and pack your bags

Cause I'm here to take you home

I'm goin' back to Louisiana

And woman I ain't gonna go with out you

There's a few defining moments in every person's life

When you know what you've done wrong

And you know what you've done right

And before the congregation and her husband and her kids

She says, "How dare you even speak to me

After everything you did"...in

New Orleans but that's another story

New Orleans that's another time

That's another town, that's another life

That's another town, that's another life
