New Orleans Dreaming Lyrics by Brewster Durbin

Rookie

2024

[Intro]
(Had one guess, then I guess I’m just New Orleans)
(If I had one guess, then I guess I’m just New Orleans)
(If I had one guess, then I guess I’m just New Orleans)
(If I had one guess, then I guess I’m just New Orleans)
[Verse 1]
Something more than me calling me home now
Go to church inside the Superdome now
Holding hands until they turn to stone now
The ones I used to love just float around me like a ghost now
I’m on I-10 heading еast
’05 thinking of me, I know it
Made a plan when I was 15
I can see him smiling on mе, my brodie
He felt it all so heavily
If he’s listening, let him know that I miss him
Grew in Lakeview not Metairie
She laughed at me, “Why does it make a difference?”
[Chorus]
Wanna love me, but I had to brush her to the side
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my mind
Got a bad feeling on the first time that I got it right
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my
Bad luck, she can’t even hop in the ride
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my mind
Take off for a few years just to come right back
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Houston girls love the way it goes down
Atlanta girls love the way it goes down
New Orleans girls love the way it goes down
[Verse 2]
Something more than me calling me home now
Eyes light up the trees when I’m alone now
Reliving what happened on my phone now
If you’re looking for God, he’s deep inside the 504 now
First kiss, my lips, her teeth
Brushing up until my gums bleed all over
Another one still thinking of me
Crying hard, she couldn’t believe what I told her
Went from a boy to a memory
Compress a year to fit into an instant
Asked her if she was embarrassed of me
She laughed at me, “Why does it make a difference?”
[Chorus]
Wanna love me, but I had to brush her to the side
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my mind
Got a bad feeling on the first time that I got it right
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my
Bad luck, she can’t even hop in the ride
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my mind
Take off for a few years just to come right back
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Go to church inside the Super-
I can see him smiling on me, my brodie (I, I)
I can see him smiling on me, my (what?)
Maybe if she was from the city I would wanna change my-
05’ thinking of me, I know it (I, I)
New Orleans girls love the way it goes down (Went from a boy to a memory)
She laughed at me, “Why does it make a difference?”
[Outro]
I know I couldn’t go back if I tried
I know I couldn’t go back if I tried (If I tried, if I tried)
No, it’s just a moment in time you can only have once in a life
New Orleans girls love the way it goes down
I know I couldn’t go back if I tried (Couldn’t go back)
I know I couldn’t go back if I tried (Knew a Shreveport girl…)
New Orleans girls love the way it goes down
Yes I tried, yes, I tried (New Orleans girls love the way it goes down)
No, it’s just a moment in time I can never get back for the rest of my life
