Louisiana - The Alternate Routes

My trailer got lost in the flood

And momma won’t give me no love

Said she’s got a headache

Maybe when the sun breaks

Hanging my head on a cross

And the carnival should’ve stayed home

The tiger man’s drinking alone

Living in a cage, I gotta get away

I wanna be somebody’s boss

It’s always yesterday

And yesterday is gone

I won’t settle for less

Than just getting along

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana

You want a Mardi Gras and I can’t stand it

So bring your best dress

We’re gonna make a mess, now

We’re gonna make a mess of it all

And how I miss cutting the rug

Before we got stuck in the mud

They’re patching up the big top

Banking on a crowd

Everybody’s gonna get dirty down south

And it’s never too late for the show

I bought a black cat and I’m selling my soul

There’s women all around me

Bourbon in the breeze

But you better bring your crutches

Because the 'gaters underneath

We know the weather man is always selling rain

You can’t keep me at home you can’t wash me away

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana

You want a Mardi Gras and I can’t stand it

So bring your best dress

We’re gonna make a mess, now

We’re gonna make a mess of it all

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana

You want a Mardi Gras and I can’t stand it

So bring your best dress

We’re gonna make a mess, now

We’re gonna make a mess of it all

All right,

We’re gonna make a mess of it all

Oh yeah,

We’re gonna make a mess of it all

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me

So say you’ll meet me in Louisiana
