Bourbon Street

Because this song just makes me freaking happy



Bourbon Street by Jeff Tuohy

I’ve been living in sin for about a month

Something turns me round it’s something that I just

Can’t understand, the way I behave.

Some people you can never save.



On my right hand, I’ve got a girl in my ear

And in my left hand, I’m throwing back a beer.

What can I say? Of me, you steer clear

When I driving down on Bourbon Street, yeah



Cuz every night we through this little soiree

Gonna turn her head until she’s mine, all mine

Every night I breed a new disaster

I might be right, I might be wrong

Try to get away and I will bring you right along, so

Sit back, have a seat

Sometimes salty, sometimes sweet

Hard to swallow, but fun to eat

You ain’t never leaving Bourbon Street, come on!



When I walk the street people step aside

Twirling my cane and smiling wide

Some would say I’m a carnal slave

I put my hands on what I crave

I’m the mayor of this crazy town

Where the queens will party with the clown

Try to swim with me and you’re bound to drown

Throw you a line while you’re going down



Yeah, I know this street and I own this crowd

And my only companion is a lightning cloud

I seem real nice and easy to trust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

I’m gonna lead you a path to self-destruct

On this crazy train that I conduct.



And it’s a one, two, three..



Cuz every night we through this little soiree

Gonna turn her head until she’s mine, all mine

Every night I breed a new disaster

I might be right, I might be wrong

Try to get away and I will bring you right along, so

Sit back, have a seat

Sometimes salty, sometimes sweet

Hard to swallow, but fun to eat
You ain’t never leaving Bourbon Street.
