lyrics

Walkin’ the road in New Orleans
ya see a lot of crazy things,
you see the people running around
their lives hangin’ by a string

and dontcha know that you’re never alone
these people are just like you,
there’s nothing new under the sun
ya know in your heart it’s true.

I saw this girl with no last name
she sat there and she stared,
she asked me why I stood there alone
but I saw she didn’t care

and I wished I could reach out to her
and help her face the world,
but she couldn’t stand to be tied down
she’d rather move along

I saw some children at their games
all dancin’ in the rain
their smiles they were plastic
I could see they were in pain

and I asked them why they hid their pain
but answer there came none
but I knew the reason they were scared
I knew why they had to run

so walkin’ the road in New Orleans
ya see a lot of crazy things,
you see the people running around
their lives hangin’ by a string
