emily hearn - new orleans lyrics

did you expect for me to take it well
when you looked me in the eyes and said, “i never wanted you at all”?
did you think that i’d just smile
when you told me that you’re packing up and leaving town?
you said, “i don’t know where i’m going
i think i’ll head to new orleans for a while”
i heard the truth but i still felt the sting
knowing loving you could never turn your heart towards me
so i bid my love farewell
and i bit my tongue to keep myself from breaking down
you said, “i don’t know where i’m going
i think i’ll head to new orleans for a while”
god, i’m so tired of crying
but i can’t hold back my tears
oh, i have to know
can a city give a man its heart?
does a city have a hand to hold?
tell me, what do you offer him that i don’t?
new orleans
i hope the people living on the streets
bring you greater joy than all the places that you’ve seen
and i know you’ll make them smile
and then you’ll tell them that you’re packing up and leaving town
you’ll say, “i don’t know where i’m going
but i gotta leave new orleans for a while”
god, i’m so tired of crying
but i can’t hold back my tears
oh, i have to know
can a city give a man its heart?
does a city have a hand to hold?
tell me, what do you offer him that i don’t?
you don’t owe me anything
go, be free
you don’t owe me anything
go, be free
you never know where you’re going, and i don’t care
go all the way to new orleans
god, i’m so tired of crying
but i can’t hold back my tears anymore
can a city give a man its heart?
does a city have a hand to hold?
tell me, what do you offer him that i don’t?
new orleans
new orleans
why don’t you just go?
if you never wanted me at all
