The wind blows cold tonight it blows real cold at night in the city sitting in the back of a limousine on my way to do a show in New Orleans A glass of wine helps me feel real fine relaxes my mind hope I get there on time and I think of a man that I left behind in the city in the city I'll be singing the blues tonight getting soothed by the blues tonight in New Orleans Up on stage with my microphone in a room with all these people I'm still alone and I think of a man that I left behind in the city in the city ooooh all is quiet and it's warm tonight yet I feel so alone tonight in a hotel room and I think of a man that I left behind I can't be his wife cuz of my traveling life in the city in the city ooooh there's a knock on my door tonight and I think of a man who understands he's here tonight gonna make me feel all right in the city in the city ooooh
