Civilized Man

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? And miss it each night and day I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger The longer I stay away Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing And I like to see the lazy Mississippi Hurrying into Spring The moonlight on the bayou A Creole tune that filled the air I dream about magnolias in June And now I'm wishing that I was there Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? When that's where you left your heart And there's something more, I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans The moonlight on the bayou A Creole tune that filled the air I dream about magnolias in June And now I'm wishing that I was there Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? In that's where you left your heart If there's something more, I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans
