My Little Peace of Mind

Rolling down I-10 going East bound Crossing Lake Charles, well it won't be long now The refinery's glow burned a hole in the sky Atchafalaya beneath my wheels We got something that you can't steal Louisiana Bayou reflecting the pale moon light I wanna go home where the Mississippi River flows Down in to the Gulf of Mexico Standing on the river bank watching those ship go by-y-y 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 Plaquemines, Lafayette, Algiers, Chauvin Second only to the promised land Jesus take my hands and let me fly I'm going down a parish road on a Christmas eve I got a woman and she waits for me I can see the fire in her eyes I wanna go home where the Mississippi River flows Down in to the Gulf of Mexico Standing on the river bank watching those ship go by-y-y 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 said hello or said 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 Down in to the Gulf of Mexico Standing on the river bank watching those ship go by-y-y 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
