New Orleans

Wake up
I run up to the window
She's standing on the corner
And motions me to follow
I see her in her red shoes
I slip out of the front door
And she starts up her car
She drives
We're heading for the city
That swimming in her bloodstream
Is pulsing in her heartbeat
I feel it washing over her
As she turns onto Canal Street
She's wide awake again
Oooooooooooooo Yeah
She swears it's in the air
You just have to believe
Oo-oo Oo Oo Oo Oo-oo Oo Oo Oo
Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans
We're running by the river
The city lights a blazing
She looks like she could fly off
Like gravity is failing
Somewhere in the distance
A marching band is playing
She's wide awake again
Oooooooooooooo Yeah
She swears it's in the air
You just have to believe
Oo-oo Oo Oo Oo Oo-oo Oo Oo Oo
Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh and
It's something in her eyes
That I've never seen
When she says to me
I'm wide awake again
Oooooooooooooo Yeah
There's magic in the night
Down in New Orleans
'Take me down to the water'
'Take me down to the water'
'New Orleans'
'Take me down to the water'
No I never had it figured out
Just a maze I never know
Although suddenly it's making sense
But she's shows me all
The roses in the sidewalks
Like angels at her feet
And they're breaking through the pavement
To light her way through New Orleans
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Through New Orleans
She swears its in the air
You just have to believe
Oo-oo Oo Oo Oo Oo-oo Oo Oo Oo
Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans
And oh there's something in her eyes
That I've never seen
When she says to me
I'm wide awake again
Ooooooooooooo Yeah
There's magic in the night down in New Orleans
'Take me down to the water'
'Take me down to the water'
'New orleans'
'Take me down to the water'
'Take me down to the water'
'New Orleans'
