Tools are sharpened I'm just waking up Got my sword and my shield and coffee in my cup Headed hard toward tomorrow with a full head of steam Heart's on my sleeve and my heads in a dream Think I'll try my luck and see what luck might bring Down in the city of the riverboat kings I'm off the hook and I'm walkin' the blues Taking all I've got and going down to baton rouge Gonna ride all night sleep all day Surviving on good luck and crawfish etouffee Gonna Collect all the sugar and deliver it across the sea Might never come back you might never hear from me Think I'll try my luck and see what luck might bring Down in the city of the riverboat kings I'm off the hook and I'm walkin' the blues Taking all I've got and going down to baton rouge Think I'll try my luck and see what luck might bring Down in the city of the riverboat kings I'm off the hook and I'm walkin' the blues Taking all I've got and going down to baton rouge Think I'll try my luck and see what luck might bring Down in the city of the riverboat kings I'm off the hook and I'm walkin' the blues Taking all I've got and going down to baton rouge Taking all I've got and going down to baton rouge
