Beat It Out Of Baton Rouge |
LyricsBEAT IT OUT OF BATON ROUGEMark Patterson & Lee Parvin © 2019 The Cajun greeted me at the airport With a convertible in Baton Rouge He had a cooler full of ice in the back and two full of booze We were making a run up to Natchez Pockets overflowing with cash For a fais do do with the rest of the oil field trash Now Timmy had been at it for hours By the time we got to the bar They threw his ass off the block you could say he kind of took it too far And I was huddled up with the prom queen Who was putting on a hell of a show She said I'll show you how it ends but you got to take me when you go Chorus: The water was rising on the bayou And we were trying to beat the big deluge We got out of Mississippi yeah brother Better beat it out of Baton Rouge Better beat it out of Baton Rouge We made a little dough at the tables But we were running out of pigeons to pluck Then a pumper with a gun in his boot said we were pushing our luck We tried to fire up the rag top And blow town like a runaway train But someone left the top down yeah in the pouring rain We finally got the car back to Red Stick When some college kid from LSU Called the Cajun a fool and that wasn't a very smart thing to do (Chorus) Enter the local lawmen Who were happy to determine our fate We vowed never to return and they marched us right to our gate (Chorus) (Repeat) |
