Oak Ridge Boys - New Orleans Lyrics
He was twenty-five she was twenty-eightHe was homegrown and she'd just pulled off the interstateShe bought a Dr. Pepper ten dollars worth of gasShe was obviously lost but too afraid to ask directions.So he offered her a smileAnd a stick of Beech-Nut gumHe said, ''Where you headed to girl,Where 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 weekCouple of months later they were living on his parents streetHe worked the station and she worked the storeAnd then they had a baby and then they had one more, little Jesse.When she dropped the kids off at the mothers day outAll the ladies had their questions and knew not to ask about.New Orleans but that's another storyNew Orleans, that's another time,That's another town, that's another life.--- Instrumental ---Wednesday night supper at the first Baptist ChurchStranger standing in the door way as they're passing out the dessertHe said, ''Go on pack your bags, I'm here to take you homeI'm going back to Louisiana and woman I ain't gonna go without you.''There's a few defining moments in every persons lifeWhen you know what you've done wrong and you know what you've done rightAnd before the congregation and her husband and her kidsShe says, ''How dare you even speak to me after everything you did in.''And New Orleans that's another storyNew Orleans, that's another time,That's another town, that's another life.New Orleans that's another storyNew Orleans, that's another time,That's another town, that's another life...
