lyrics

Driving to New Orleans
Through a path cut by a lake
I’m gonna try to get my courage up
Think I’m gonna need it down the line

You ask me how I feel, I feel fine

I hate to have to do this
There’s a knot inside my throat
I’m gonna recreate the scene for you
The characters are real, the names have changed

You ask me how I feel, I feel strange

And I know I’ll complicate things further
But in case you haven’t heard there’s an impending storm
Down where the lions roar

Driving to New Orleans
And I hope to stay awake
I’m gonna get myself together there
Set my rubber ducks all in a row
You ask me how I feel I don’t know
You ask me how I feel well I don’t know

Baby don’t cry when there’s nothing left
A sigh of relief a promise someone forgets
A faint and wounded blossom on the road

Now I believe that somehow something exists
Beyond the gate, I don’t know how big it is
To think we’re gonna make it on our own

Driving to New Orleans
‘Cause I’ve earned my second chance
I wanna stumble into Storyville
Thumb down trails from my memory
You ask me how I feel, I feel free
You ask me how I feel, I feel free
