about

Written by Michael O'Connor, Adam Carroll & Chris Carroll

lyrics

I'd feel like the king of New Orleans if I could keep the rain off my head
I used to be the man down here now I'm looking for a bed
Good times come to an end and wash on down the street
Taking everything that we threw away and all we try to keep

Well, the ghosts out on Market Street might've laid this railroad down
If I hadn't miss the bus, I'd already be in town
Singin' one for Madeline or Matilda, you never can tell
I made my way across the Pontchartrain to fetch my Mademoiselle

Sunsets in Rosedale like none I'd ever seen
I pushed my luck in Mobile, a hole in the pocket of my jeans
It's been a long time since I've held my head up high
Town to town I'm a stranger hardly getting by

Lost my horn down the road a ways to those so-called friends of mine
If I could shake it off and make good time I'll be dancing with Caroline
A spark in the night I keep alive, ain't ever gonna let it die
J'ete mes filles la lumière de ma vie, they take me back every time

Ever since I ate your fried chicken, baby, in the parking lot of that old motel
Crescent City Angels got me under their spell
I did my fair share of runnin' 'round
Oh, but it never rang my bell
Crescent City Angels got me under their spell
