Did you expect for me to take it well
When you looked me in the eyes and said
I never wanted you at all
Did you think that I’d just smile
When you told me that you’re packing up and leaving town
You said, I don’t know where I’m going“
I think I’ll head to New Orleans for awhile“
I heard the truth but I still felt the sting
Knowing loving you could never turn your heart towards me
So I bid my love farewell
And I bit my tongue to keep myself from breaking down
You said I don’t know where I’m going“
I think I’ll head to New Orleans for awhile“
/Chorus/
God I’m so tired of crying
But I can’t hold back my tears,
Oh, hard to know
Can the city give a man his heart
Does the city have a hand to hold
Tell me, what do you offer that I don’t, New Orleans
/
I hope the people living on the streets
Bring you greater joy than all the places that you see
And I know you’ll make them smile
And then you’ll tell them that you’re packing up and leaving town
You said, I don’t know where I’m going“
I gotta leave New Orleans for awhile“
/Chorus/
God I’m so tired of crying
But I can’t hold back my tears,
Oh, hard to know
Can the city give a man his heart
Does the city have a hand to hold
Tell me, what do you offer that I don’t, yeah
/
You don’t owe me anything
Go be free, yeah
You don’t owe me anything
Go be free, yeah
You never know where you’re going
And I don’t care
Go all the way to New Orleans
/Chorus/
God I’m so tired of crying, yeah
But I can’t hold back my tears anymore,
Can the city give a man his heart
Does the city have a hand to hold
Tell me, what do you offer him that I don’t, New Orleans, yeah
/
Why don’t you just go
If you never wanted me at all
