Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
Livin' on cornmeal, catfish and grits
Ya know I wear anything that fits
Workin' it easy, let it be so
I'm gonna find my El Dorado
First we go north for a bale of hay
Find a few mullets to pay the way
Grillin' tables like a roulette wheel
Gotta pay to spin away
I don't have worries, got a good lease
Ten million barrels of golden grease
Drill that bayou and make it flow
We're gonna be rich, darling I know
In Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
When we get there, oh we'll all be able
To race those horses from our own stable
Live in a penthouse like the Taj Mahal
Darling, we're gonna have it all
Grillin table keep spinnin' all day
Ride straight down, you know the way
We'll produce that golden grease
No dry holes in my oil lease
Livin' on cornmeal, catfish and grits
Ya know I wear anything that fits
Workin' it easy, let it be so
I'm gonna find my El Dorado
In Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
Shreveport Town
