Lyrics

New Orleans is making me old
You're still around here somewhere, least that's what I'm told
This city ain't so easy without someone to hold
New Orleans is making me old

You know I started lookin down on Jackson Square
But the fortune teller said she'd need a lock of your hair
You whisper, I turn around, there's nobody there
New Orleans is making me old

I called the doctor but he's drinkin again
He says I should forget you and start livin' in sin
Even the professor doesn't know where you been
New Orleans is making me old

I still recall the last time we spoke
I proposed marriage and you bummed a smoke
You laughed and I swear I still don't get the joke
New Orleans is making me old

I called the doctor but he's drinkin' again
He says I should forget you and start livin' in sin
Even the professor doesn't know where you been
New Orleans is makin' me old

I called the doctor but he's drinkin' again
He says I should forget you and start livin' in sin
Even the professor doesn't know where you been
New Orleans is making me old

New Orleans is makin' me old
You're still around here somewhere, least that's what I'm told
This city ain't so easy without someone to hold
New Orleans is makin' me old

I tried to clear my head on Bourbon Street
But the levee's full of water and it's startin' to leak
Your love is just a deadly game of hide and go seek
New Orleans is making me old
