i went to new orleans
i fell in love
don't know how it happened
it's all i can think of
it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
met a pretty lady there
she said you'll never go
you have that look in your eye
new orleans has a hold
it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
my old home caught fire
burned to ash
new orleans itself
is almost a thing of the past
it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
as i step on my train i think
i don't wanna go
it may not always be here
and it feels like home
it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
i went to new orleans
i fell in love
don't know how it happened
it's all i can think of
it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
it may be the big easy
it's not easy to leave
