Midnight on Bourbon Street

[Verse]
Shadows stretch where the lanterns swing
The air is thick with a smoky sting
A trumpet cries like it’s lost in time
Whiskey flows
It ain’t no crime

[Chorus]
Midnight on Bourbon Street
Where the rhythm and the soul both meet
The ground shakes under dancing feet
Oh
Midnight on Bourbon Street

[Verse 2]
Beads and dreams hang from the trees
Laughter rolls like the Mississippi breeze
The moon’s a spotlight
The stars are blind
This city don’t care
It’s one of a kind

[Bridge]
Every note’s a whisper
A scream
A sigh
The saxophone moans like it wants to cry
But the beat keeps pushing
It don’t slow down
The heart of the city wears a brass crown

[Chorus]
Midnight on Bourbon Street
Where the rhythm and the soul both meet
The ground shakes under dancing feet
Oh
Midnight on Bourbon Street

[Outro]
So raise your glass
Let the music stay
Here in New Orleans
It’s always a play
The night’s alive
Hear the spirits speak
Forever’s born on Bourbon Street
