Drunk footsteps on cobblestone
Makin' me feel right at home
Even though I'm miles away from there
And gumbo cookin' on the stove
Mixed with rum and cigarette smoke
Stickin' to my soul, my clothes, and my hair
I smell freedom in the air I said someday I'd sail to New Orleans
Find myself gettin' lost in the Quarter
In some shady place with a hurricane
Blowin' my troubles away
And singin' along with an old black man
As the Saints go marchin' through Dixieland
I always dreamed I'd be right here someday
And it looks like someday today My phone's buzzin' on the bar
But I don't give a damn who you are
Even if it's you, we got nothin' left to say
I guess the muddy water's cleared my mind
It was over before we said goodbye
Now it's high time I let me roll away, yeah I said someday I'd sail to New Orleans
Find myself gettin' lost in the Quarter
In some shady place with a hurricane
Blowin' my troubles away
And singin' along with an old black man
As the Saints go marchin' through Dixieland
I always dreamed I'd be right here someday
And it looks like someday today
It looks like someday today The sun breaks through the clouds
As the bartender sets another drink down
She smiles at the smile on my face and she says
'It's gonna be some day today' And we're singin' along the best we can
As the Saints go marchin' through Dixieland
I always dreamed I'd be right here someday
And it looks like someday today
Looks like someday today
It looks like someday today
