Inspiration in the air
Musical notes and keys just everywhere
Felt the sun on my scalp
My bald fade fresh
I saw my girl walking away from me
Yeah, I saw my girl walking right down the street
I knew it was because my spirit I just can't beat
Let it burn
Cried the Saints
It must be fire
But I got no complaints
I'm just lovin' this New Orleans air
Gonna ride my bike down
To listen to the musical notes
That are everywhere

I envy you - I have been trying to figure out a time and way to get there over the past two years and could not succeed. I finally decided okay going to see those "Saints come marching home," and could not get one flight from here. Another time, but yes, I can "feel" New Orleans calling me too.

Nicely done.

You captured my attention for sure...the home of my birth, my home sweet home I miss so much.

You made me able to see, hear, and yes smell it all right now.

Zach,

I like this - I wanted to be there. I also liked the repetition. This read like a song to me.

Thank you all for your responses. I haven't been able to check for awhile, so sorry for the delay.
