Going down Louisiana, going down on the midnight train
Going down Louisiana, going down on the midnight train
Gonna leave it all behind me, and I aint going back again

Gonna find me a woman cut loose this ball and chain
Gonna find me a woman cut loose this ball and chain
Gonna love her ‘til the morning then do it all again

Gotta keep on turning, gotta keep those wheels going round and round
And I ain’t got no use for what you call the truth
I’m looking for a way to find some solid ground
