Lyrics
I?ve Been to Memphis and Athens, Greece
Been to Rio and Venice Beach
Vegas and Oooooo Sydney
Cannes and yeah, Paris
But baby take me back to New Orleans
I?ve traveled many miles in my day
I come and go tryin? to find my way
Lookin? for a place to lay my head
But now the hunt is over
The search is dead
Take me back to Bourbon Street
Seductive and charming with her lacy frills
She?ll suck you in and then she?ll give you chills
She brings me peace
Sets me free
Life rolls smooth as the Mississippi
Baby take me back to Bourbon Street
The Crescent City swings to a beat of its own
City of blues
City of Creole
Look into her eyes and she?ll penetrate your soul
Your secrets are safe while you?re there on Bourbon Street
Vegas has the action
Venice has love
Paris has the fashions that fit like a glove
Memphis has Elvis and Athens has Crete
But no place else has Bourbon Street
Take me back to New Orleans
