I Sold My Soul To New Orleans by Slagle Rock published on 2015-05-03T20:13:58Z Gave up home And history Moved on down To New Orleans Tried to make it Singing in clubs Pedal steel And no overdubs Made a deal With a voodoo master Get me to the top That much faster Now you say you’re here To take me home Sorry boy You’re leaving alone No phone calls, please And no e-mails This city owns me Can’t you tell? Don’t ask me questions I won’t talk If you approach me I’ll take a walk I know every street car Crack in the pavement Places I can lay low Bars to escape in Because I’m bad news Not worth the effort Find another woman You can do better I sold my soul To New Orleans French Quarter Guitars and accordions Mississippi River Playing for the audience I sold my soul To New Orleans Today’s your flight out I forgot Could have marked it on my calendar But I did not So save your emotions For someone else Here’s a farewell card Says ‘Go to hell’ Shop next door Sells souvenirs A dirty shot glass I don’t care If the liquor’s poison If it tastes like blood I’ll have another Now you better run I sold my soul To New Orleans French Quarter Guitars and accordions Mississippi River Playing for the audience I sold my soul To New Orleans I told you when we met You’d get hurt Burned like a match Swept away like dirt Hosed down like garbage Stuck to Bourbon Street Broken like a levee Smoked like meat Now you left home And you’re here to stay I warned you You’d become my prey Well, I’ll find you a place In my trousseau Save you for the city That owns my soul New Orleans I’m your devoted bride The river swells Fills me up inside I sold my soul To New Orleans French Quarter Guitars and accordions Mississippi River Playing for the audience I sold my soul To New Orleans Genre NOLA Comment by Marcorti Travel song, air in the hair, sense of freedom. 2016-05-21T09:45:47Z Comment by Lo-fi Galaxie This has a really cool retro sound! 2015-12-10T02:16:10Z Comment by Orbiting Freakshow Orch Terrific track, fab writing 2015-06-24T14:31:27Z Comment by Heartscore Lovely retro-vibe, the groove is very natural and good vocals 2015-05-19T07:52:03Z Comment by Couch King Presents Beautiful city, I enjoyed my stay there :-) lovely nostalgic song 2015-05-14T15:04:47Z Comment by Low Force Halo haha, at first i thought you tweaked your vocals ... beautiful hommage to this city, when i'm in the US i defo will pay a visit! 2015-05-04T07:41:12Z Comment by The Weighty Tree me too ! 2015-05-03T23:52:15Z Comment by Evanisko Love this part. 2015-05-03T22:07:59Z Comment by Deeply Dazzled Enjoyed 2015-05-03T20:58:55Z Comment by Slagle Rock What?
