Well 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, 'till I see the lights of town
And I ain't gonna get no sleep in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm gonna get me some alligator shoes
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm gonna wear 'em out in Baton Rouge
Was a texas girl that broke my heart, then she tore my truck apart
Guess I'll get me another in Baton Rouge
I like crawfish, I like rice - I like girls that treat you nice
I'm gonna find me one in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm gonna get me some alligator shoes
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm gonna wear 'em out in Baton Rouge
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 going back
Soon as I catch my breath in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm gonna get me some alligator shoes
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm gonna wear 'em out in Baton Rouge
I'm gonna strut my stuff in Baton Rouge
I'm gonna cool my heels in Baton Rouge
