Born in Louisiana Songtext
von Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown

I was born in Louisiana and raised on the Texas side
Born in Louisiana and raised on the Texas side
That makes me a true citizen, more than one realize


Texas and Louisiana are just a few feet apart
I love go ′round the planet, that's where I got my start
I was born in Louisiana and raised on the Texas side
That makes me a true citizen, more than one realize

My mother is from Louisiana, my daddy, I don′t know from where
And if someone would ask me, I would say, "I don't care"
'Cause I was born in Louisiana and raised on the Texas side
I was 21 when my father said goodbye
