Man we headed out from Plaquemine
Up route one to Baton Rouge
We was happy down in Plaquemine
Say say she wanted Baton Rouge
Keep a good woman, a man gotta' do
What a man gotta do
Baton Rouge couldn't hold her
Say she wanted New Orleans
She was cravin' more excitement
Say she'd find it in New Orleans
So I tailed on out behind her
Tryin' to figure out what it means
Lord what it means?
Well she said, she'd meet me in Dallas
She headed east out to Birmingham
I begun to get suspicious now, you know
I start to, I start to worry
I start to worry about another man
So I got the next thing rollin' you know
And I took the dog down to Alabam'
Well this is what they told me
They say I just done missed her
She caught the red-eye to L.A.
There's a big dude traveling with her
He didn't have that much to say
So I headed on back to Plaquemine
Sad but wiser man today
People I'm goin' on back home
Going back home to stay
You know sometimes when you hurt
Makes you find a better way
There's a better way
Oh I know
