An innocent child in new orleans
A simple girl from simple means
Walked the rails
Rode her thumb
She hitched a ride with everyone

The regular, she'd rearrange
The girl knew how to chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change

Took a job workin late
Jackin cars from out of state
She found no love in this town
So she'd never mess around
Had no luck, but aint it strange
The girl knew how to chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
Chop and change
