New Orleans

[Verse 1]
I held your hand in New Orleans
You smiled and kissed my cheek
The band sang "Desperado"
I thought you were for me
I held you close in New Orleans
You blushed and kissed my mouth
The band played "Take It Easy"
You tried to show me how

[Chorus]
Looking at paintings, talking to walls
Falling into your eyes
For all the right reasons
For all the wrong reasons
Wandering blissful, taking you in
Saying hello, goodbye
At the end of a season
The end of a season

[Verse 2]
I loved you so in New Orleans
The sheet against my cheek
You whispered "I Can't Tell You Why"
So sad you had to leave
New Orleans is way down south
And you're still way up north
I'm singing "Hotel California"
Going back and forth

[Chorus]
Looking at paintings, talking to walls
Falling into your eyes
For all the right reasons
For all the wrong reasons
Wandering wistful, taking you in
Saying hello, goodbye
At the end of a season
The end of a season

[Verse 3]
Come on, meet me there next Mardi Gras
I want to go back to that oyster bar
Where the band was covering Eagles tunes
When you loved me and I loved you

[Chorus]
Looking at paintings, talking to walls
Falling into your eyes
For all the right reasons
For all the wrong reasons
Wandering blissful, taking you in
Saying hello, goodbye
At the end of a season
The end of a season
