New Orleans from Dots by Christopher Brown featuring The Bookends Band

I can't wait for the government to finally do some good
Gonna be a new development in my ol neighborhood
Gonna get hammer, gonna get some paint
Gonna buy a welcome mat and welcome back some saints

Going to New Orleans I’m going home
Going to New Orleans and put some meat back on the bone

Grand dad worked the levees in the 27 flood
Then settled in that city he dug out of the mud
My brother's out in Texas, Mom’s in Baton Rouge
Don’t know where the rest is but I bet they’re coming soon

Going to New Orleans I’m going home
Going to New Orleans and put some meat back on the bone

Everyone’s got one thing, one thing that stays
Sometimes you don’t know it until it’s taken away.

Going to New Orleans I’m going home
Going to New Orleans and put some meat back on the bone
