Time sure flies when you're young and on a roll You think you're never growing old Til that faithful day when it all slips away And you're waiting for your future to unfold Chorus: If I could only see you, I might not ever leave you Louisiana baby If I could only let you know I never wanna let you go Louisiana baby The wheels keep turnin' and I'm not done learnin' I'm headin' down to New Orleans today Are you still down there? Do you even care? If I get the chance this time, I'm gonna stay Chorus I searched high and low amongst purple, green, and gold And down on Bourbon it was wall to wall But you were nowhere to be found Better luck next time around I guess it's not a small world after all Chorus
