All proceeds from the sale of this track will go to the New Orleans Abortion Fund

lyrics

Headed out of Houston
Got my motor threaded East
1500 miles from my home in Los Angeles
And the only thing left in the way of me and my voodoo queen
Is that long swamp bridge to New Orleans

Roll on through the bayou
Leave you counting every mile
Dodging ghosts and gators all along the way
Rolling through the heart of Arcadia
Cursing every man that made'ya
Is that long swamp bridge to New Orleans

My hearts full of desire
But my eyes are getting tired
And I'm dancing across them lanes as I fall asleep
And the last thing that I did see
Were the eyes of my sweet Marie
As I drove off the long swamp bridge to New Orleans
