Greenville to Baton Rouge lyrics
by Drive-By Truckers
[Verse 1]
One more night, one more show
Four down, eighty-four to go
This ain't no time for moving slow
[Chorus]
Greenville to Baton Rouge
I'll call you up when I get through
The life I live is the life I choose
Greenville to Baton Rouge
[Verse 2]
The shows have sure been great this year
All eight cylinders, all twelve gears
Call you up when I touch down
At the airport in a Louisiana town
Street Survivors, feeling no pain
A little more rock, a little less cocaine
And don't forget about Stevie Gaines
[Chorus]
Greenville to Baton Rouge
I'll call you up when I get through
If it's the last thing I do
Greenville to Baton Rouge
[Verse 3]
Last night, you should have seen this plane
The right engine shot a twelve foot flame
South Carolina made us glad we came
We're up in the air again
Once we hit Louisiana, baby, I don't care
Got a brand new airplane waiting for us there
Give this piece of sh*t back to Aerosmith
Wake me up when we get there
The right engine gave a little flash
The pilot panicked and dumped the gas
Everything is quiet, we're dropping fast
We touch down, gonna whup' his ass!
[Chorus]
Greenville to Baton Rouge
Can't die now got a show to do
The life I live is the life I choose
Greenville to Baton Rouge
(One more for the mules...)
