oh the weight upon your shoulder as you feel you're getting older
everybody wants to tell you. get a job
pay the rent and get a wife
in your dreams you're on the streets of new orleans
dancing second line style
all night parties at your flat
you let go but it's all been a while. you were cool you had fun
you took no shit from anyone
front it out with a second line smile
made this god awful place
come alive feel like vegas on the strip. but the weight upon your shoulder as you feel you're getting older
everybody wants to tell you. get a job
in your dreams you're on the streets of new orleans
dancing second line style
all night parties at your flat
you let go but it's all been a while. we would run through the streets
singing songs at the police
disappear down the second line mile
made this god awful place
come alive just like vegas on the strip. but the weight upon your shoulder as you feel you're getting older
everybody wants to tell you. get a job
sing this song as you're dancing down the aisle. sound familiar?
hope your pension don't get spent
by the boss on the moonlight mile
in your dreams you're on the streets of new orleans
in your dreams you're on the streets of new orleans
dancing second line style
sing this song as you're dancing down the aisle.
