Queen of New Orleans Songtext
von Jon Bon Jovi

She said, baby, our love′s just like your songs
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong
It′s time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on
She sang Johnny I'm gone, gone, gone
And she was gone

Me and Leigh met summer of ′95
In a burgundy dress lookin′ finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin′ fine

She said "You want to drive me home"
But what I didn't know
Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)


That night I made a move, man I fell hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the light of speeding car

Nothing′s what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans
Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)

Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, I was dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh, ooh, dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, nothing′s what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street
Ooh, ooh, dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
