New Orleans Lyrics - Let The Dominoes Fall - Rancid

Well, I went south with a case of survival 

To amend my heart that's paper thin 

You see I felt her words and her images follow 

I'm gonna carry my heart to New Orleans 

I have no home to go so I wander awhile 

From coast to coast, from sin to sin 

From the coldest shores to the warmest islands 

I've been around the world, back to New Orleans 

Well, she's got a pride like a million lions 

She's got a scar on her velvet face 

She's got a smile like a newborn child 

She's gotta walk, a stoic grace 

I never slept that night until my arrival 

I romanticized a long embrace 

You see I lost my tongue and burned my Bible 

But made it back home to New Orleans 

Well, she's got a pride like a million lions 

She's got a scar on her velvet face 

She's got a smile like a newborn child 

She's gotta walk a stoic grace 

Well, I held my breath and I swam for miles 

When all was lost and hell took place 

You see it rained all night and the city she flooded 

It rained all night in New Orleans 

Yeah, it rained all night in New Orleans 

Yeah, it rained all night in New Orleans 

Yeah, it rained all night in New Orleans
