lyrics
Always In My HEart
Verse 1
This city has a way of holdin’ on to your heart
No matter how hard you try
To run away no matter how far
It’s part of us until we die
From the Irish Channel to Jefferson
From the River Road to Odd Fellows Rest
It’s the place we call home
Before you know, it’s a place we can’t let go
Pre-Chorus A
Why run away to New York , L.A.
Paris, D.C., west we go
I’m formed in your heart, New Orleans is my home
Verse 2
Been too long, since I had this much courage
To fight over beads and doubloons
I’ve been rich, I’ve been discouraged
But I haven't picked over the ruins
All my friends my mom and ‘em
Ain’t seen me since the fire
I can fall on my knees and pray
Take me back forgive all the lies
Pre-Chorus B
Why run away to New York , L.A.
Paris, D.C., west we go
I’m formed in your heart, New Orleans is my home
CHORUS:
Always in my heart, always in my heart
Always in my heart, New Orleans is my home
Verse 3
The city has a way of pulling you in
Accept her magic charms
Surrender to the muses within
Fall in to her arms
Sing your song through the raging flood
Hold on to your heart
Plant your feet and grit your teeth
Wait for the rising sun
Pre-chorus B
Born and raised in the city that plays
Its strengths against the storm
Praise to the saints that keep us from harm
The city I call home
Chorus:
Always in my heart, New Orleans is my home
Always in my heart, New Orleans is my home
That's where I belong, I know....
