South of New Orleans

Lyrics

South of New Orleans By: Drew Rice Verse I can’t remember when I met her It was a long short time ago And I can’t remember to forget her Or the way she held me so close I was just a brief encounter But I’ll love her for a couple eternities Now I’m lost everywhere without her Somewhere South of New Orleans Chorus Somewhere South of New Orleans Where the bayous and she run free She stole my heart And took my dreams Somewhere South of New Orleans Verse Now every road I travel Leads me to the Gulf of Mexico Interstate blacktop or gravel Where she’s gone? I don’t know Somebody said they might have seen her Down Lafourche or was it Terrebonne? The sign says Bayou Blue and I fit right in Cause I’m blue and all alone Chorus Somewhere South of New Orleans Where the bayous and she run free She stole my heart And took my dreams Somewhere South Oh somewhere South of New Orleans Bridge I found truth in her empty promises Cause I was lost in her eyes of green Somewhere South of New Orleans Tag She stole my heart And took all my dreams Somewhere South of New Orleans
