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
