[Verse 1]
Well, I'm gonna leave Texarkana
I'm going down to Louisiana
I'm gonna try my luck in Baton Rouge
I'm gonna follow old Red River down
Till I see the lights of town
Man, I ain't gonna get no sleep in Baton Rouge

[Chorus]
Saying, 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

[Verse 2]
It was a Texas girl that broke my heart
Then she tore my truck apart
Hey, I guess I'll get me another in Baton Rouge
I like crawfish, I like rice
And I like girls that treat you nice
Hey, I'm going to find me one in Baton Rouge

[Chorus]
I said, 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
[Verse 3]
Hey, 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

[Chorus]
Said, 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

[Outro]
Hey, I'm gonna strut my stuff in Baton Rouge
Hey, I'm gonna cool my heels in Baton Rouge
