Voodoo Ties

Almost ran away one time to Nashville, Tennessee Los Angeles, California, even the big old NYC That ain't right You know the nest ain't no place for me Well my body lies here in Texas But my Heart's stuck in New Orleans Last night I was sipping on tequila When I crossed paths with a bad señorita Had to double take she was looking so clean She was a black magic woman I could tell by all means It only took one glance to put the magic in me Got me hooked on the needle so effortlessly She blew me away how she sat in them jeans I was standing there stiff, it was almost obscene And then she turned around and she gave me a wink I asked her where she come from, she said New Orleans I don't know much about Nola And she don't know shit about me Must be something in the water 'Cause the city got it's hold on me That ain't right You know my heart's stuck in New Orleans Must be something funny with Voodoo out there 'Cause she cast her spell on me Well I called up the Devil I said "Let me make a request" "Son you better listen very well I can help you on your quest" But that ain't right You know the Devil played a little trick on me Oh you know he made me the best But ain't nobody wanna listen to me The city done did you dirty Now you're stuck in New Orleans But your heart's out in Texas And it just can't take the heat And that's alright You went and did the same damn thing to me Oh the city done did you wrong Ain't ever stepping foot back in New Orleans
