Ciara - NOLA Myths

That is the only place where people can have fun.
That is the only place where people know how to party
All the crazy people are there
You have to go there to have fun
That is where everyone one wants to be
These are the things that most people believe New Orleans to be
There’s much more to it to just parting and having fun
There are caring people
A love of the Saints
The common theme of the love of those Saints
That brings people together and make them feel as a family
