lyrics

It's when you're just freewheeling without a place to go
And you're feeling just like a king you know
Because New Orleans is the place where the life is see
Just yourself a brew and a friend or three
Well the music is hot and you know that's right
And all the fine ladies comin out at night
So if you wantin a good time and you got the means
Get your money and buy a ticket for New Orleans
Well the clubs are swinging and the people the same
Go there you'll see that Bourbon's more than just a name
If you're having trouble finding it then here's a start
Go down Esplanade and take a right to North Rampart
Then you follow the sounds to the party spot
Where the music is live and all the girlies are hot
Then you make a couple of friends go to the smoothest scenes
You can search the world you'll never find another New Orleans
Lemme give the five dollar tour of the town, you down
Even though the street's named Royal you don't need no crown
Don't look around cuz you bound to be found by the town
Don't do what the new crew do, you don't have no time to be new
Cuz there's clubs that's always up in your place, in your face
Don't matter where you go cuz there ain't no trace
Not like these fake-ass towns that try to be what we are, who we are
In the bar you go far you a star, no matter who you are
Cuz in New Orleans every street got your name on it
And that's a fact, no I ain't smoking crack so relax
Have a beer and a daiquiri too
Cuz when you're here in New Orleans, it's the right thing to do
