Driving rock song, catchy guitar riff, pulsating bass and hard drums with handclaps.

What's All the Fuzz

Radio Energy

Rocknroller

Baton Rouge has the Tigers
Houston has a dome
Neither one has what we need
We need to go home

Ever since Katrina
We’ve bounced around
She tried to wash us away
We won't drown
New Orleans
New Orleans

Lafayette likes to party
Dallas has the dough
Now the Saints go marching in
San Antonio

Home is where the heart is
Home is far away
Everywhere folks sing the blues
It ain't the same
New Orleans
New Orleans

Back in New Orleans
We’re gonna rock and roll
Back in New Orleans
We’re gonna make it whole
The heart of soul
New Orleans
New Orleans

People call it Nawlins
They call it New Orlenes
The place Care forgot
In a dream
New Orleans
New Orleans
New Orleans
New Orleans

New Orleans

To say I love you
Is equivalent
To saying I breathe air
Such sustenance as I derive from oxygen devolves
So liberally so reflexively upon me

Were I deprived
Of atmosphere
The words "I breathe" would not avail
To fill my lungs with what they need nor would 
     the words
"I am a fish" convert my lungs to gills

Air all around
But I would drown
Without you there
Because I breathe you
Because I breathe you

Air all around
But I would drown
Without you there
Because I breathe you
Because I breathe you

To say I love you
Is equivalent
To saying I breathe air
Ethereal by nature not by choice I'm bound to 
     love you
Notwithstanding my voice

Air all around
But I would drown
Without you there
Because I breathe you
Because I breathe you

Air all around
But I would drown
Without you there
Because I breathe you
Because I breathe you
