Queen Of New Orleans

Jon Bon Jovi · Jon Bon Jovi: Destination Anywhere

She said baby our loveÂ’s just like your songs
The beat ainÂ’t bad but the words are all wrong
ItÂ’s time to pack my bags, itÂ’s time to just move on
She sang Johnny IÂ’m gone, gone, gone
And she was gone

Me and Leigh met summer of Â’95
In a burgundy dress lookinÂ’ finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboyÂ’s dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookinÂ’ fine
She said: ”You want to drive me home”
But what I didnÂ’t knowÂ…

Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – it was almost like a dream

That night I made a move, man I fell hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the light of speeding car
NothingÂ’s what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sisterÂ’s jeans

Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – it was almost like a dream

Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh, ooh - I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh - dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – nothing’s what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh – dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh, ooh – I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
