RANCID - New Orleans lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Well I went south<br>

With a case of survival<br>

To amend my heart that's paper thin<br>

You see I felt her words<br>

and her images filed<br>

I'm gonna carry my heart to New Orleans<br>

I have no home to go<br>

So I wander awhile<br>

From coast to coast<br>

From sin to sin<br>

From the coldest shores<br>

To the warmest islands<br>

Been around the world<br>

Back to New Orleans<br>

<br>

Well she's got pride<br>

Like a million lions<br>

She's got a scar <br>

on her velvet face<br>

She's got a smile<br>

like a newborn child<br>

She's gotta walk,<br>

a Stoic Grace<br>

<br>

I never slept that night<br>

Until my arrival<br>

I romanticized a long embrace<br>

You see I lost my tongue<br>

and burned my Bible<br>

But made it back home to New Orleans<br>

<br>

Well she's got pride<br>

Like a million lions<br>

She's got a scar <br>

on her velvet face<br>

She's got a smile<br>

like a newborn child<br>

She's gotta walk<br>

a Stoic Grace<br>

<br>

Well I held my breath<br>

and I swam for miles<br>

When all was lost <br>

and hell took place<br>

You see it rained all night<br>

and the city she flooded<br>

It rained all night in New Orleans<br>

<br>

Yeah it rained all night in New Orleans<br>

Yeah it rained all night in New Orleans<br>

Yeah it rained all night in New Orleans<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
