Written by Micky Braun and Willy Braun


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
