Intro
My (G) 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 (D7) hit the road
Chasin' down a (G) dream
And I (D7) need a little help
I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans
(G) 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 (D7) road again
Somewhere south of Mo(G)line
And I (D7) need a little help
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans
(C) Don't know why...I gotta go
(F) If I don't try I'll never know
(C) About e'touffe and Cajun (G) queens
I need a little help
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans
Solo
(G) 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 (D7) on the road
Chasin' down a (G) dream
And I (D7) need a little help
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans
I (D7) need a little help
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans
I'm just an (D7) old poor boy
Chasin' down a (G) dream
And I (D7) need a little help
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans
