My daddy said son put your guitar down
We gotta build some fence
Gotta plow some ground
I told my daddy try and understand
This john deere tractor don't fit in my plan
And I hit the road chasing down a dream
And I need a little help trying to get to new orleans
Sidetracked up in illinois
I'm not that smart I'm an innocent boy
She called me baby she called me honey
She called a cab and took away my money
On the road again somewhere south of moley
And I need a little help you see
I'm trying to get to new orleans
Don't know why gotta go if I don't try
I'll never know about a to faye and cajun lee
You know I need a little help
You see I'm trying to get to new orleans
New orleans new orleans
You're the letter
Don't know why I gotta go if I don't try
I'll never know about a two faced occasion queen
You know I need a little help
You see I'm trying to get to new orleans
I hopped my watch for a burger and fries
I tried to pretend it was red beans and rice
Midnight in memphis
Hello to graceland
Next stop louisiana
And I'm on the road chasing down a dream
And I need a little help to see
Trying to get to new orleans
Yeah I need a little help to see
Trying to get to new orleans
Yeah I'm just an old poor boy chasing down a dream
And I need a little help to see
I'm trying to get to new orleans
Trying to get to new orleans
You know I need a little help you see
I'm trying to get to new orleans
You know I need a little help you see
I'm trying to get to new orleans
