Rollin' along down I-24
As good of a place to begin
To see the things I've never seen before
A way for a broken man to mend

The clouds look like West Virginia today
But I don't know why I even care
When the Sun could decide to betray
The sky when it's nothing but air

It's raining down in Mississippi's gulf shores
Relentlessly Alexander drives on
For Slidell expects us by midnight tonight
With a 100 miles ahead and 400 gone

Lewd conduct on the street was a drunkard's delight
And for old men with cameras and beads
The Chicken Man's fortune did not prove right
There was no kiss from the Mardi Gras Queen
