Baton Rouge Lee Roy Parnell

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm gonna leave Texarkana, I'm goin' down to Louisiana
I'm gonna try my luck in Baton Rouge
I'm gonna follow ol' Red River down 'til I see the lights of town
I ain't gonna get no sleep in Baton Rouge

[Chorus]
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, I'm gonna get me some alligator shoes
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, I'm gonna wear 'em out down to Baton Rouge

[Verse 2]
Oh, a Texas girl that broke my heart, then she tore my truck apart
I reckon I'll get me another in Baton Rouge
'Cause I like crawfish, I like rice, I like girls that treat you nice
Guess I'll find me one in Baton Rouge

[Chorus]
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, I'm gonna get me some alligator shoes
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, I'm gonna wear 'em out down to Baton Rouge

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I'm gonna learn to walk that walk, I'm gonna learn to talk that talk
I'm gonna learn to dance in Baton Rouge
Ain't life just like a cul-de-sac? I'm a Texas boy and I'm goin' back
Soon as I catch my breath in Baton Rouge
