Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town. Doing anything just to get you off my mind. But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again.
There'll be greener pastures. Across that border line. We'll see new horizons, my darlin'. Far beyond the great divide. . Pools of clear blue waters. Star light in the sky.
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 I ain't gonna get no sleep in Baton Rouge.
