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.
