Don't try to debate me, / You should know that I'm womanly wise / Still you try to manipulate me / You don't know where your interest lies.

Oh what are we going to do / I never did a thing to you / Time peaceful as a hurricane eye / Peaceful as a hurricane eye

Saving my money / Dreaming of glory / Twitching like a finger on a trigger of a gun

I once had a car / That was more like a home / I lived in it, loved in it / Polished its chrome

If some of my homes / Had been more like my car / I probably wouldn't have / Traveled this far

Cars are cars / All over the world / Similarly made / Similarly sold / In a motorcade / Abandoned when they're old

Allergies to dust and grain, maladies, remedies and still these allergies remain.

Homeward bound / I wish I was / Homeward bound / Home where my thought's escapin' / Home where my music's playin' / Home where my love lies waitin' / Silently for me

Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras / Let the music wash your soul (let it wash your soul) / You can mingle in the street / You can jingle to the beat / Of Jelly Roll

Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras / In the city of my dreams / You can legalize your lows / You can wear your summer clothes / In the New Orleans
