Call up your mama, get her on the phone
Tell her not to worry, we're going to be gone
Gonna take some time and find
A change of scene
Lately we've been thinking, the fires are burning low
Maybe New Orleans is somewhere we can go
To get our love the way it used to be
It could be like old times down in New Orleans
Come go with me, we can dance the night away
To that old big easy serenade
The cafe in the corner, a room above the street
The smell the sweet magnolias as I hold you close to me
That's the way that I see it in my dreams
It'll be like old times down in New Orleans
Come go with me, we can dance the night away
To that old big easy serenade
One day when we're older and the fires are burning bright
We'll recall the memories of these Louisiana nights
As the lights go down, I'll hold you close to me
It'll be like old times down in New Orleans
It'll be like old times down in New Orleans
It'll be like old times down in New Orleans
