Midnight in New Orleans
I hitch a ride from Memphis
I couldn't find those Beale street bars
They all moved to Chicago
Got lost in the American dream
Driving down highway 61
I was thinking Robert Johnson, "you were the one"
You sow the seeds of a loving baby
Now pretend that they were out of your name
Midnight in New Orleans
Full moon watches over the sea
Midnight in New Orleans
Just another broken down dream
Take a walk down Bourbon street
The hookers and hustlers just striking their beat
They call it the drag but it's losers lane
Everybody looking for something to kill the pain
Midnight in New Orleans
Full moon watches over the sea
Midnight in New Orleans
Just another broken down dream
These blues coming down on me
That is the way it's supposed to be
When looking for my soul I found a broken heart
Send for a doctor, I need a new start
Midnight in New Orleans
Full moon watches over the sea
Midnight in New Orleans
Just another broken down dream
Midnight in New Orleans
Full moon watches over the sea
Midnight in New Orleans
Just another broken down dream
