Guy Clark - Baton Rouge [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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

[Chorus]
Saying, Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm going to get me some alligator shoes
Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge
I'm going to 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 craw fish, I like rice
An' I like girls that treat you nice
Hey, I'm going to find me one in Baton Rouge

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Hey, I'm going to learn to walk that walk
I'm going to learn to talk that talk
I'm going to learn to dance in Baton Rouge
Ain't life just like a Cul de Sac?
I'm a Texas boy an' I'm going back
Soon as I catch my breath in Baton Rouge

[Chorus]

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