Tryin’ To Get To New Orleans

Tryin' To Get To New Orleans - The Tractors

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 my plan

And I hit the road

Chasin' down a dream

And I need a little help

I'm tryin' 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 Moline

And I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

Don't know why

I gotta go

If I don't try I'll never know

About e'touffe and Cajun queens

I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

New Orleans

New Orleans

Don't know why

I gotta go

If I don't try I'll never know

About e'touffe and Cajun queens

I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

Hocked my watch

Bought a burger and fries

Tried to pretend it was red beans and rice

Midnight in Memphis

Hello to Graceland

Next stop

Louisiana

And I'm on the road

Chasin' down a dream

And I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

I'm just an old poor boy

Chasin' down a dream

And I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

And I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans

And I need a little help

You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans
