Smokey Old New Orleans Bar
|
|
|
| Lyrics |
Verse 1: In a smokey old bar, I found a seat
Been traveling for days, thirsty and beat
Over my glass, I saw your face
You swear you were not amazed
But Cupid or God were sure to impress
Me unshaved, and you in that summer dress
I was far from home, you were alone,
Someone above knew it's gonna be a success.....
Chorus:
Ma said "you never find a wife in a bar",
But I turn my head and there you are,
Seemed like we'd met along time back
Like we were rollin' together on a railroad track
I knew why I had come so far,
To this Smokey old New Orleans bar....
Verse 2:
Man, the bar lit up, when you smiled at me,
Thought the moon had floated over Bourbon treet
You weren't looking for me, but there I was
And I don't recall who began our talk
I swear there was something 'bout the way you looked
Shook your hair loose, I was hooked,
Around two o'clock, the floor got mopped
My heart beatin' like it would never stop.
CHORUS
Verse 3: We got married in 2003, survived Katrina and crushed levees
Our bar's disappeared, but you're still here,
Pouring my best beer for me.
CHORUS
