I met a little gal around Thibodaux, she said she was 18
A hometown hottie she was good to go
My little Cajun queen

She's as hot as good country cooking
She'll drive you wild she's so good looking
I ain't seen nothing like that girl
From Shreveport to New Orleans

Her daddy found out about our loving
He was mad as hell and mean
We stole his truck to get away and a tank of gasoline
He called the law, we started running
Sirens blaring, heart was pumping, it was a high speed chase and a
get away from Shreveport to New Orleans

Chorus:
She's all I ever wanted
She's all I'll ever need
I ain't seen nothing like that gal
From Shreveport to New Orleans

I woke up in that motor-court she was nowhere to be seen She done high-tailed it out of there
And picked my wallet clean
She told the law where I'd been hiding
A man came knocking and I went sliding out the window And down the road from Shreveport to New Orleans

Chorus

Out of gas and out of luck and out of hopes and dreams,
Busted by the state police mile marker 118
Judge said, "Son, they'll be no bail"
Come midnight I broke out of jail
And I've been trying to find that gal
From Shreveport to New Orleans

Chorus
