Hello New Orleans Robert Earl Keen
Hello New Orleans
By Robert Earl Keen
Capo 2
[C] [F] [G] [C]
[C]Standinâ?? here [F]beside this freewa[Am]y wishing I was[G] high
[C]Wondering why she [F]said she loved me [Am]then she said goodb[G]ye
Iâ??[Am]m down to my las[Em]t dollar in thes[F]e faded old blu[G]e jeans
So [C]adios to [F]Amarillo, [G]hello New Orl[C]eans
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 thatâ??s 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 thatâ??s how I know this ainâ??t no crazy dream
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
Iâ??ll eat my fill of jambalaya and crawfish etouffé
Iâ??ll drink the Mississippi dry, laissez les bon temps rouler
Iâ??ll trade her memory in on one of those Cajun queens
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
So adios to Amarillo, hello New Orleans
