My trailer got lost in the flood
And momma won't give me no love
Said she's got a headache

Maybe when the sun breaks
Hanging my head on a cross


And the carnival should've stayed home
The tiger man's drinking alone
Living in a cage, I gotta get away

I wanna be somebody's boss

It's always yesterday

And yesterday is gone
I won't settle for less
Than just getting along


So say you'll meet me in Louisiana
You want a Mardi Gras and I can't stand it

So bring your best dress
We're gonna make a mess, now
We're gonna make a mess of it all


And how I miss cutting the rug
Before we got stuck in the mud

They're patching up the big top
Banking on a crowd
Everybody's gonna get dirty down south


And it's never too late for the show
I bought a black cat and I'm selling my soul

There's women all around me
Bourbon in the breeze
But you better bring your crutches

Because the 'gaters underneath

We know the weather man is always selling rain

You can't keep me at home you can't wash me away

So say you'll meet me in Louisiana

You want a Mardi Gras and I can't stand it
So bring your best dress
We're gonna make a mess, now

We're gonna make a mess of it all

So say you'll meet me in Louisiana

You want a Mardi Gras and I can't stand it
So bring your best dress
We're gonna make a mess, now

We're gonna make a mess of it all

All right,

We're gonna make a mess of it all
Oh yeah,
We're gonna make a mess of it all


So say you'll meet me
So say you'll meet me

So say you'll meet me in Louisiana

So say you'll meet me

So say you'll meet me
So say you'll meet me in Louisiana


So say you'll meet me
So say you'll meet me
So say you'll meet me in Louisiana


So say you'll meet me
So say you'll meet me

So say you'll meet me in Louisiana
