James Dupré - Someday Today

Drunk footsteps on the cobblestone
Are making me feel right at home
Even though I'm miles away from there
Gumbo cooking on the stove
Mixed with rum and cigarette smoke
Sticking to my soul, my clothes and my hair
And I smell freedom in the air

I said someday I'd sail to New Orleans
Find myself getting lost in the Quarter
In some shady place
With a hurricane blowing my troubles away
Singing along with an old black man
As the Saints go marching through Dixieland
I always dreamed I'd be right here someday
And it looks like someday today

My phone's buzzing on the bar
But I don't give a damn who you are
Even if it's you, we've got nothing left to say
I guess the muddy waters cleared my mind
It was over before we said goodbye
Now it's my time, let me roll away

I said someday I'd sail to New Orleans
Find myself getting lost in the Quarter
In some shady place
With a hurricane blowing my troubles away
Singing along with an old black man
As the Saints go marching through Dixieland
I always dreamed I'd be right here someday
And it looks like someday today
It looks like someday today

The sun breaks through the clouds
As the bartender sets another drink down
She smiles at the smile on my face
And she says, "it's gonna be someday today"

And we're singing along the best we can
As the Saints go marching through DixieLand
I always dreamed I'd be right here someday
And it looks like someday today
Looks like someday today
Looks like someday today
