Hello New Orleans Lyrics - Keen Robert Earl

Standin here beside this freeway wishing I was high 

Wondering why she said she loved me then she said goodbye 

Im down to my last dollar in these faded old blue jeans 

So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans 

Her hair was made of summer sunlight the moon lit in her eyes 

Her voice would ride the wind at midnight across the starry skies 

Love is blind thats what they tell me in all those magazines 

So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans 

We talked about our lives together we talked about our plans 

We walked through rain and windy weather across the shifting sands 

She took the car thats how I know this aint no crazy dream 

So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans 

Ill eat my fill of jambalaya and crawfish etouffe 

Ill drink the Mississippi dry, laissez les bon temps rouler 

Ill trade her memory in on one of those Cajun queens 

So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans 

So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
