| [00:01.28] |
Did you expect for me to take it well |
| [00:04.84] |
When you looked me in the eyes and said |
| [00:08.47] |
I never wanted you at all |
| [00:12.14] |
Did you think that I’d just smile |
| [00:15.30] |
When you told me that you’re packing up and leaving town |
| [00:21.76] |
You said, I don’t know where I’m going“ |
| [00:26.37] |
I think I’ll head to New Orleans for awhile“ |
| [00:34.53] |
I heard the truth but I still felt the sting |
| [00:39.08] |
Knowing loving you could never turn your heart towards me |
| [00:45.10] |
So I bid my love farewell |
| [00:50.86] |
And I bit my tongue to keep myself from breaking down |
| [00:56.60] |
You said I don’t know where I’m going“ |
| [01:00.76] |
I think I’ll head to New Orleans for awhile“ |
| [01:09.22] |
/Chorus/ |
| [01:10.46] |
God I’m so tired of crying |
| [01:13.38] |
But I can’t hold back my tears, |
| [01:18.37] |
Oh, hard to know |
| [01:20.76] |
Can the city give a man his heart |
| [01:23.07] |
Does the city have a hand to hold |
| [01:25.21] |
Tell me, what do you offer that I don’t, New Orleans |
| [01:30.60] |
/ |
| [01:44.36] |
I hope the people living on the streets |
| [01:48.19] |
Bring you greater joy than all the places that you see |
| [01:53.76] |
And I know you’ll make them smile |
| [01:58.86] |
And then you’ll tell them that you’re packing up and leaving town |
| [02:05.73] |
You said, I don’t know where I’m going“ |
| [02:09.46] |
I gotta leave New Orleans for awhile“ |
| [02:16.43] |
/Chorus/ |
| [02:19.12] |
God I’m so tired of crying |
| [02:23.00] |
But I can’t hold back my tears, |
| [02:27.11] |
Oh, hard to know |
| [02:28.79] |
Can the city give a man his heart |
| [02:31.46] |
Does the city have a hand to hold |
| [02:33.41] |
Tell me, what do you offer that I don’t, yeah |
| [02:41.06] |
/ |
| [02:42.63] |
You don’t owe me anything |
| [02:51.53] |
Go be free, yeah |
| [02:57.04] |
You don’t owe me anything |
| [03:03.36] |
Go be free, yeah |
| [03:08.94] |
You never know where you’re going |
| [03:12.84] |
And I don’t care |
| [03:15.51] |
Go all the way to New Orleans |
| [03:19.63] |
/Chorus/ |
| [03:22.48] |
God I’m so tired of crying, yeah |
| [03:25.44] |
But I can’t hold back my tears anymore, |
| [03:31.42] |
Can the city give a man his heart |
| [03:35.51] |
Does the city have a hand to hold |
| [03:37.69] |
Tell me, what do you offer him that I don’t, New Orleans, yeah |
| [03:42.56] |
/ |
| [04:00.74] |
Why don’t you just go |
| [04:04.18] |
If you never wanted me at all |
| [04:12.07] |
