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 getaway From Shreveport to New Orleans 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 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 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 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
