Thoughts of New Orleans
Drew James © 2008

I’m flooded with thoughts of New Orleans
Where the mighty river flows
Where the seeds of dreams are sown
Where hearts sprout wings
On the southern wind that blows
I’m flooded with thoughts of New Orleans
The place that I call home

I’m flooded with thoughts of New Orleans
Where the sun shines good and strong
Where the heat lasts all night long
Where time runs slow
And the air is rich with song
I’m flooded with thoughts of New Orleans
The where I belong

That City of passion, style and taste
That City of sinners and of saints
That City that spawns memories that time can’t erase
New Orleans
It is like no other place

I’m flooded with thoughts of New Orleans
Where the rain comes pouring down
As I walk its hallowed ground
And when I do
I can hold my head up proud
I’m flooded with thoughts of New Orleans
God I wish I was there now

That City of passion, style and taste
That City of sinners and of saints
That City that spawns memories that time can’t erase
New Orleans
It is like no other place
