John Greene & The Dead Sea Squirrels - Louisiana Bound

Officer Johnson, he flagged me down
As I tore across Crockett County
He said you're a long way from home here John
And that's gonna cost you $150

Ozona Courthouse at the break of day
I've been on I-10 far too long
You don't get much for your dollar here
When the Sheriff says you done wrong

Its 900 miles across Texas
From El Paso to the swampy Sabine
Day after day on the freeway
Where the 18 wheelers whine
In a country as big as an ocean
Driving's like flying on the ground
I'm tearing through the butterfly rain
Louisiana Bound

The night clerk was a god fearing man
He was headed for the drive thru church
He said see the pioneers with the arrows in their backs
Even Texans aren't as tall as they were

Its 900 miles across Texas
From El Paso to the swampy Sabine
Day after day on the freeway
Where the 18 wheelers whine
In a country as big as an ocean
Driving's like flying on the ground
I'm tearing through the butterfly rain
Louisiana Bound
