New Orleans on Los Angeles Time

lyrics

NOLA
words and music by B. James

He came from New Orleans with a habit and a dream
Hollywood lights. Malibu nights, he was the best I'd ever seen
He was a junkie’s junky, a friend of mine
New Orleans spit him out on Los Angeles time

His heart beat a second line, his blood ram crescent moon
He said he lost his baby girl in the flood from the monsoon
Been around the world, played with the very nest
Went to New York City with a tightly clenched fist

It was a routine heist for a modest payola
Then again, there ain't nothing modest about nine years in Angola
Not sure if he found God, or if God found him
They say that everyone finds God after nine years in the pen
