Jordan Davis - Leaving New Orleans Lyrics






I'll miss the quarter, the magnolias
And the Pontchartrain
And the french market on a Saturday
I'll miss the feel of this place
I'll miss the bayou sunrise
The Mardi Gras and the second lines
Bourbon jazz, sidewalk kids
With bottlecap taps dancing for tips

But I'm leaving New Orleans
There's too much of you in this town
Your memories like moss in the trees
Every corner it's just hanging around
Well the Big Easy ain't so easy
Hard to say it but baby come morning
I'll be rolling like the Mississippi
Leaving New Orleans

Well I like highways so maybe LA
Is the place for me
If I point these wheels
T'wards a Hollywood sign
All those miles can clear my mind
Well I can watch a horse race
On some blue grass
Where the bourbon's made
Get some rays in the sunshine state
Hit Seattle if I need a little rain

But I'm leaving New Orleans
There's too much of you in this town
Your memories like moss in the trees
Every corner it's just hanging around
Well the Big Easy ain't so easy
Hard to say it but baby come morning
I'll be rolling like the Mississippi
Leaving New Orleans

I guess our good times have rolled away
Well, laissez les bons temps rouler

Leaving New Orleans
There's too much of you in this town
Your memories like moss in the trees
Every corner it's just hanging around
Well the Big Easy ain't so easy
Hard to say it but baby come morning

Yeah I'm leaving New Orleans
There's too much of you in this town
Your memories like moss in the trees
Every corner it's just hanging around
Well the Big Easy ain't so easy
Hard to say it but baby come morning
I'll be rolling like the Mississippi
Leaving New Orleans

Yeah I'm leaving New Orleans
Goodbye New Orleans
I'm leaving New Orleans

    Lyrics:

    [Verse 1]
    I miss the Quarter
    The magnolias and the Pontchartrain
    French market on a Saturday
    I'll miss the feel of this place
    I miss the Bayou sunrise
    The Mardi Gras and the Saga Lines
    Bourbon, jazz, sidewalk kids
    With bottle cap taps, dancing for tips

    [Chorus]
    But I'm leaving New Orleans
    There's too much of you in this town
    Your memory is like moss in the trees
    Every corner it's just hanging around
    Well, The Big Easy ain't so easy
    Hard to say it but baby come on
    I'll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans

    [Verse 2]
    Well I like highways
    So maybe LA is the place for me
    If I point these wheels toward the Hollywood sign
    All those miles to clear my mind
    Or I could watch a horse race on some bluegrass
    Where bourbon's made
    Catch some rays in the Sunshine State
    Hit Seattle if I need a little rain

    [Chorus]
    But I'm leaving New Orleans
    There's too much of you in this town
    Your memory's like moss in the trees
    Every corner it's just hanging around
    Well, The Big Easy ain't so easy
    Hard to say it but baby come on
    I'll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans

    [Bridge]
    I guess our good times have rolled away
    Well laissez les bons temps rouler

    [Chorus]
    I'm leaving New Orleans
    There's too much of you in this town
    Your memory is like moss in the trees
    Every corner it's just hanging around
    Well, The Big Easy ain't so easy
    Hard to say it but baby come on

    [Chorus]
    Yeah, I'm Leaving New Orleans
    There's too much of you in this town
    Your memory is like moss in the trees
    Every quarter is just hanging around
    Well, The Big Easy ain't so easy
    Hard to say it but baby come on
    I'll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans

    [Outro]
    Yeah, I'm leaving New Orleans
    Goodbye New Orleans
    Leaving New Orleans

    C.... T....

    Cherifa TheComet I'm pretty sure he says hard to say this but baby come morning I'll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving new Orleans

    C.... T....

    Tonio Walker Yeah I thought that too at first. But actually he says "Come on Yeah...." and the way he sings it seems like come morning.
    Anyways, I found the lyrics on a website where he and his co-writers posted them, so I guess they should be correct.

    C.... T....

    Cherifa TheComet hmmm interesting just seems him saying come morning I'll be leaving new Orleans because he's tryna leave her in the past would sound better

    C.... T....
