Heath Borne - This City of Mine Lyrics

They run to the river
Spread out like a fan
Or like pointy fingers
On an outstretched hand
Carrollton Jefferson
Jackson and Clay
I'd set red carpets
On each all the way

I love the spirit
In this city of mine
The music on Frenchmen
All the places to dine
Give me that culture
Like a carefully aged wine
I sure love the spirit
In this city of mine

She's got problems
But if you look at the whole
Good outweighs bad
In this city of my soul
To me New Orleans
Will never grow old
She's the jewel of the south
On a crown made of gold

I love the spirit
In this city of mine
The music on Frenchmen
All the places to dine
Give me that culture
Like a carefully aged wine
I sure love the spirit
In this city of mine

What do they say about statues
There's a place for them all
And there's room for everyone
Whether big or small

I love the spirit
In this city of mine
The music on Frenchmen
All the places to dine
Give me that culture
Like a carefully aged wine
I sure love the spirit
Oh I sure love the spirit
I sure love the spirit
In this city of mine
