Time sure flies when you’re young and on a roll 

You think you’re never growing old 

Til that faithful day when it all slips away 

And you’re waiting for your future to unfold 



Chorus: 



If I could only see you, I might not ever leave you 

Louisiana baby 

If I could only let you know I never wanna let you go 

Louisiana baby 



The wheels keep turnin’ and I’m not done learnin’ 

I’m headin’ down to New Orleans today 

Are you still down there? Do you even care? 

If I get the chance this time, I’m gonna stay 



Chorus 



I searched high and low amongst purple, green, and gold 

And down on Bourbon it was wall to wall 

But you were nowhere to be found 

Better luck next time around 

I guess it’s not a small world after all 



Chorus
