Border of the Quarter
I come back to New Orleans
'cause that's the only place I been
where the air's so thick and sweet
feels like lovin' arms around me.
Lazy trees and ocean breeze
Rainy evenings glistenin'
The music oozing out of every door.
It's like my heaven made to order
inside the border of the quarter
lord aint no place like I ever been before.
I used to watch and wonder
at ones who sing the blues
and try to find out why they wanna get so low
But even though I cant explain it now
I join them when they singin'
and when the song is over
I say "Oh lord!"
There's something 'bout the way
that women walk in New Orleans
Now, maybe it's just me 'cause
I'm in love with all I seen there
Bedroom by the balcony
laughter lifting from the streets
forgetting what my pocket watch is for
It's like my heaven made to order
inside the border of the quarter
lord there's no place like I ever been before.
I used to watch and wonder
at ones who sing the blues
and try to find out why they wanna get so low
But even though I cant explain it now
I join them when they singin'
and when the song is over
I say "Oh lord!"
I come back to New Orleans
'cause that's the only place I been
where the air's so thick and sweet
feels like lovin' arms around me.
Lazy trees and ocean breeze
Rainy evenings glistenin'
The music oozing out of every door.
It's like my heaven made to order
inside the border of the quarter
Lord aint no place like I ever been before.
'cause that's the only place I been
where the air's so thick and sweet
feels like lovin' arms around me.
Lazy trees and ocean breeze
Rainy evenings glistenin'
The music oozing out of every door.
It's like my heaven made to order
inside the border of the quarter
lord aint no place like I ever been before.
I used to watch and wonder
at ones who sing the blues
and try to find out why they wanna get so low
But even though I cant explain it now
I join them when they singin'
and when the song is over
I say "Oh lord!"
There's something 'bout the way
that women walk in New Orleans
Now, maybe it's just me 'cause
I'm in love with all I seen there
Bedroom by the balcony
laughter lifting from the streets
forgetting what my pocket watch is for
It's like my heaven made to order
inside the border of the quarter
lord there's no place like I ever been before.
I used to watch and wonder

and try to find out why they wanna get so low
But even though I cant explain it now

I come back to New Orleans
'cause that's the only place I been
where the air's so thick and sweet
feels like lovin' arms around me.
Lazy trees and ocean breeze
Rainy evenings glistenin'
The music oozing out of every door.
It's like my heaven made to order
inside the border of the quarter
Lord aint no place like I ever been before.
