He was 25She was 28He was home-grown countryShe just pulled off the interstateShe bought a Dr. PepperAnd ten dollars worth of gasShe was obviously lostAnd too afraid to ask directionsSo he offered her a smileAnd a stick of beachnut gumHe said, "Where you headed to girl?Where you comin' from?"chorus:She said, "New OrleansBut that's another storyNew OrleansBut that's another time, that's another town, that's another life"First she stayed a dayThen she stayed a weekA couple months later they wereLivin' on his parents' streetHe worked the stationAnd she worked the storeThen they had a babyAnd then they had one more, little JesseWhen she dropped the kids offAt the mothers' day outAll the ladies had their questionsBut knew not to ask aboutNew Orleans'Cause that's another storyNew OrleansThat's another time, that's another town, that's another lifeWednesday night supperAt the First Baptist ChurchA stranger standing in the doorwayAs they're passing out dessertHe said, "Go and pack your bags'Cause I'm here to take you homeWe're going back to LouisianaWoman I ain't gonna go without you"There's a few defining momentsIn every person's lifeWhen you know what you've done wrongAn you know what you've done rightBefore the congregationHer husband and her kidsShe said, "How dare you even speak to meAfter everything you did inNew OrleansBut that's another storyNew OrleansBut that's another time, that's another town, that's another life
