I’ll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans [Interlude] [Verse 2] I like highways So maybe LA is the place for me Cadd9 If I point these wheels toward the Hollywood sign All those miles can clear my mind Or I could watch a horse race on some bluegrass Where Bourbon’s made Cadd9 Catch some rays in the Sunshine State Hit Seattle if I need a little rain [Chorus] But I’m leaving New Orleans There’s too much of you in this town Your memory is like moss in the trees Every corner it’s just hanging around Dsus/F# Well The Big Easy ain’t so easy Cadd9 Hard to say it but baby come morning I’ll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans [Bridge] Dsus/F# I guess our good times have rolled away Cadd9 Well laissez les bons temps rouler [Chorus] But I’m leaving New Orleans There’s too much of you in this town Your memory is like moss in the trees Every corner it’s just hanging around Dsus/F# Well The Big Easy ain’t so easy Cadd9 Hard to say it but baby come morning [Final Chorus] Yeah I’m leaving New Orleans There’s too much of you in this town Your memory is like moss in the trees N.C. Every corner it’s just hanging around Dsus/F# Well The Big Easy ain’t so easy Cadd9 Hard to say it but baby come morning I’ll be rolling like the Mississippi leaving New Orleans [Outro] Yeah I’m leaving New Orleans Goodbye New Orleans I’m leaving New Orleans

Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie et le départ d'un lieu cher, New Orleans. L'artiste exprime à quel point il va regretter les paysages emblématiques, comme le quartier français, les magnolias, et l'atmosphère vibrant de la ville. Chaque coin de rue semble imprégné de souvenirs qui restent accrochés comme de la mousse sur les arbres. Malgré le charme de la ville, il ressent le besoin de s'éloigner, en quête de nouveaux horizons, même si cela lui demande du courage. Le contexte généralement associé à cette chanson reflète un moment de transition dans la vie, où l'on doit parfois laisser derrière soi ce que l'on aime pour avancer. C’est un mélange de joie et de tristesse face à cette séparation, mais aussi l'espoir de nouveaux départs.
