He was home grown country, she'd just pulled off the interstate
She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas
She was ovbiously lost but too afraid to ask directions
So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum
He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from
She said
New Orleans but that's another story
New Orleans that's another time
That's another town, that's another life
First she stayed a day then she stayed a week
Couple of months later they were living on his parent's street
He worked the station and she worked the store
And then they had a baby and
Then they had one more little Jesse
When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out
All the ladies had their questions
But they knew not to ask about
New Orleans but that's another story
New Orleans that's another time
That's another town, that's another life
Wednesday night supper at the First Baptist Church
Stranger standin' in the doorway
As they're passin' out the dessert
He said go on and pack your bags
Cause I'm here to take you home
I'm goin' back to Louisiana
And woman I ain't gonna go with out you
There's a few defining moments in every person's life
When you know what you've done wrong
And you know what you've done right
And before the congregation and her husband and her kids
She says, "How dare you even speak to me
After everything you did"... In
New Orleans but that's another story
New Orleans that's another time
That's another town, that's another life
That's another town, that's another life
He was twenty-five, she was twenty-eight He was home grown country, she'd just pulled off the interstate She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas She was ovbiously lost but too afraid to ask directions So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from She said New Orleans but that's another story New Orleans that's another time That's another town, that's another life First she stayed a day then she stayed a week Couple of months later they were living on his parent's street He worked the station and she worked the store And then they had a baby and Then they had one more little Jesse When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out All the ladies had their questions But they knew not to ask about New Orleans but that's another story New Orleans that's another time That's another town, that's another life Wednesday night supper at the First Baptist Church Stranger standin' in the doorway As they're passin' out the dessert He said go on and pack your bags Cause I'm here to take you home I'm goin' back to Louisiana And woman I ain't gonna go with out you There's a few defining moments in every person's life When you know what you've done wrong And you know what you've done right And before the congregation and her husband and her kids She says, "How dare you even speak to me After everything you did"... In New Orleans but that's another story New Orleans that's another time That's another town, that's another life That's another town, that's another life Explain Request ×
