Chasing the lights down the road All the way to Louisiana He's gone six hundred miles But there's still a thousand to go The moon's on the horizon Pulling his heart like the tide He's found a queen down in Old New Orleans And the distance is driving him wild There's a thunderbird under the hood And he'll push her as fast as she'll take him As the radio plays in the dark He'd fly if he could The road's never went winding But his heart is open wide He's found a queen down in old New Orleans And he can't get her out of his mind The sun it sneaks up from behind And pushes from across Alabama The windows are down And he's feeling the temperature climb He's almost to the Delta And he's traveled so far He's found a queen down in old New Orleans And soon she'll be back in his arms He's found a queen down in old New Orleans And soon she'll be back in his arms
