verse :
i did my time in baton rouge , in birmingham and huston , too ,
but all i ever see
was weary faces just like mine , waiting in endless lines ,
just’a trying to find a seat .

chorus :
lost their tickets for a greyhound bus ,
when it left them in the dust and gone away .
now all they’re asking is for you to help their cause ,
’cause they’re going a long way .

they’re walking 40 days and nights under the texas sun ,
won’t someone help them please?
spare just a dollar or a dime ,
they’re trying to find their way back to new orleans .

come on and find our way .

come on let’s find our way .
