It Don't Matter Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Oh, these days I'm a nervous wreck 

Trying to live my life so politically correct 

Don't smoke here, don't you stand over there 

Drink bottled water, don't you breathe the air 

World's so crowded, you can't hardly move 

Everybody telling you what to do 

People relax, give each other room 

Let me tell you what all the Cajuns like to do 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

If you're sane as a judge, mad as a hatter 

People down there, they don't ever stay blue 

'Cause they just ate or they're fixin' to 

They party all night, it makes you feel right 

The Big Easy knows that you just gotta let go 

Skinny or fatter, natty or tattered 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

Let me tell you how it is in New Orleans 

Life revolves around a lot of rice and beans 

They like to share a laugh and tell you what they mean 

They always have a smile on their face for everyone they meet 

Live and let live is the way that they do 

Have the neighbors over for some alligator stew 

Crawfish etoufee, Rockin' Doopsie plays 

Next thing you know all your troubles fly away 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

If you're sane as a judge, mad as a hatter 

People down there, they don't ever stay blue 

'Cause they just ate or they're fixin' to 

They party all night, it makes you feel right 

Big Easy know that you just gotta let go 

Skinny or fatter, natty or tattered 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

Yeah, down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

If you're sane as a judge, mad as a hatter 

People down there, they don't ever stay blue 

'Cause they just ate or they're fixin' to 

They party all night, it makes you feel right 

Big Easy know that you just gotta let go 

Skinny or fatter, natty or tattered 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter 

It don't matter
