I've been making the scenes down here in New Orleans Baby, old Mardi Gras makes the news It's hard to believe I'd ever want to leave And I'm living with the Sin City blues I'm tired of the town, through hanging around Too many women to choose I'm sick up and fed, need to leave, clear my head I'm living with the Sin City blues I'm gonna let the soul Sin City go I'm gonna move up north to Idaho Maybe settle down for the lane
Make myself a new home in the rain I'm tired of the sleaze and I'm tired of the tease Burn out on that Bourbon Street blues Huh, I love rice and beans and I'm leaving New Orleans Leaving with the Sin City blues Well, it's goodbye Louisiann', I've stood all I can Did that neon lights, did a few Just having lot of fun, I got leaving to get done Leaving with the Sin City blues, and I'm gone I'm leaving with the Sin City blues
