New Orleans Night Songtext
von Billy the Kid

Where I come from treats me fine
Cityscapes and neon lights
Subway cars and all night dives
Oh where I come from treats me fine

Why I left I still don′t know
I just packed my bags and walked out the door
I guess I'm still looking for a place called home
Oh why I left, I still don′t know

Have you ever seen a West Texas sunrise
You ever been lost in the Northwest pines
Have you ever heard a Dixie brass band play the Basin Street Blues on a New Orleans night


I've had lovers and I've had friends
Some I may not see again
Cause I broke some ties I just can′t mend
Oh I′ve had lovers and I've had friends

When I′m leaving I just can't say
It might be tomorrow
Might have been today
Oh but darling know that you′re not to blame
Oh when I'm leaving
I just can′t say

You ever seen a West Texas sunrise
You ever been lost in the Northwest pines
Have you ever heard a Dixie brass band play the Basin Street Blues on a New Orleans night

Have you ever seen a West Texas sunrise
Have you ever been lost in the Northwest pines
Have you ever heard a Dixie brass band play the Basin Street Blues on a New Orleans night
Play the Basin Street Blues on a New Orleans night
Play the Basin Street Blues on a New Orleans night
