My Little Peace of Mind Lyrics

Rolling down I-10 going East bound

Crossing Lake Charles it won't be long now

The refinery's glow burns a hole in the sky

Atchafalaya beneath my wheels

We've got something that you can't steal

Louisiana bayou reflecting the pale moonlight

I wanna go home, where the Mississippi River flows

Out to the Gulf of Mexico

Standing on the riverbank, watching the ships roll by

Louisiana women, well they're so damn fine

I can't wait to get back to my peace of mind

She's my little peace of mind

Plaquemine, Lafayette, Algiers, Chauvin

Second only to the promised land

Jesus take my hand and let me fly

Down a Parish Road on a Christmas Eve

I've got a woman who waits for me

And I can see the fire in her eyes

I wanna go home, where the Mississippi River flows

Out to the Gulf of Mexico

Standing on the riverbank, watching the ships roll by

Louisiana women, well they're so damn fine

I can't wait to get back to my peace of mind

She's my little peace of mind

New York City with its cold concrete

People staring at their phones and feet

Nobody says hello or says goodbye

So I want to get back to where the air is thick

Further south than what you think The South is

We're living a different way of life

I wanna go home, where the Mississippi River flows

Out to the Gulf of Mexico

Standing on the riverbank, watching the ships roll by

Louisiana women, well they're so damn fine

I can't wait to get back to my peace of mind

She's my little peace of mind
