Lost my shoes, I can't find my feet
No street signs left on my street
Styrofoam kayak won't last a day
Nothing for me to do but swim away
Alligator in the 9th Ward don't scare me
The one gonna bite, somebody, you'll never see
Well, I got to find my way back home
ย
I got to find my way back home
With you or without you, I'm gonna make it on my own
Alligator in the 9th Ward
X's on the doorway, bulldozers on the brain
Street signs just like mirrors from the window of a plane
Uncle Sam got problems right here in his backyard
He'd like to help you buddy, but you know, times are hard
He likes the big easy, like the way it feels
Big chief 'round here gotta get the same old cowboy deal
Well, I got to find my way back home
ย
I got to find my way back home
With you or without you, I'm gonna make it on my own
ย
I was a father and I had a son
I was a soldier and I carried a gun
I'm a businessman, I got my own shop
And I pay my taxes and I bribe the cops
Alligator in the 9th Ward knows where you got your shoes
Done fucked up the punchdrank, got no soul left to lose
Well, I got to find my way back home
ย
I got to find my way back home
ย
I got to find my way back home
With you or without you, I'm gonna make it on my own
