Lyrics
[Intro]
Red dirt on my boots
Steam in the air
Baton Rouge baby
I’m already there (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Wake up to the rumble
Big river in my backyard
Coffee in a plastic cup
Hot and strong
Hits hard
Grandma on the front porch
Shelling peas
Telling truths
Says “boy
That water’s carried
Every dream out this roof”
Got cousins on the levee
Throwing lines off the side
Trucks on the gravel
Dogs in the headlights
Church sign flashing Tuesday
Po’boy stand next door
You can smell fried catfish
From the corner store
[Chorus]
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Where the mud runs thick and the hearts run free
From the bluff to the bars to the back‑road heat
We stomp
We slide
We two‑step on the beat
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Let the river roll
Let the city sing with me
From the campus lights to the old oak trees
We bounce
We shout
We shake that Louisiana street (woah)
[Verse 2]
Hit Third Street
Sun low
Gold on the waterline
Horn man on the corner
Makes that sidewalk shine
Got hot links smoking
On a sideways grill
Kids dance for dollars
Showing dollar‑store skill
Traffic on the bridge slow
Red lights on the span
Radio talk is weather
And a busted game plan
But under that concrete
That brown water moves fast
Like every bad memory
You decided to pass
[Chorus]
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Where the mud runs thick and the hearts run free
From the bluff to the bars to the back‑road heat
We stomp
We slide
We two‑step on the beat
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Let the river roll
Let the city sing with me
From the campus lights to the old oak trees
We bounce
We shout
We shake that Louisiana street
[Verse 3]
Uncle got a work shirt
Oil stains on his name
Says “this town’ll test you
But I love it just the same”
Friday in the parking lot
Tailgate
Loud crowd
Little kids in face paint
Family talking proud
Accordion in the back seat
Rubboard in a milk crate
We pull up to a shotgun house
Already running late
Somebody frying boudin
Somebody brings that pie
Sweat on the window
Music on the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on hips
Boots on boards
Floor starts creaking
As they praise the Lord
Not in a pew
But in this room
Every clap
Every shout
Keeps the ghosts in tune (hey!)
[Chorus]
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Where the mud runs thick and the hearts run free
From the bluff to the bars to the back‑road heat
We stomp
We slide
We two‑step on the beat
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Let the river roll
Let the city sing with me
From the campus lights to the old oak trees
We bounce
We shout
We shake that Louisiana street
[Verse 4]
Late night at the landing
Moon stuck in the haze
Barge lights blinking
Like a cheap parade
Girl with the braids says
“You from round here?”
I say “born on this bend
Same year that flood came near”
We talk about leaving
Talk about staying put
How the river keeps calling
Like kinfolk should
You can run upriver
You can chase that sign
But that red clay memory
Sticks to your mind
[Bridge]
Hey
Mississippi
Carry my story
Past every dock and refinery glory
Past every bend where my people prayed
Where they danced on the porch
Till the wood gave way
Hey
Mississippi
Thick and wide
You mirror this city on your side
Rough and rusted
Loud and true
I got Baton Rouge blood
Running through
[Chorus]
Baton Rouge on the Mississippi
Where the mud runs thick and the hearts run free
From the bluff to the bars to the back‑road heat
We stomp
We slide
We two‑step on the beat
Baton

Swampy zydeco-hip‑hop crossover with male vocals: bright accordion riffs, snappy snare, and rolling rubboard over a deep, head‑nodding groove. Verses ride a tight rap cadence; choruses open into shout‑along hooks with call‑and‑response backing vocals. Fiddle and bluesy guitar sprinkle fills between lines, bass stays round and thick. Energy builds from laid‑back storytelling to a full second‑line party by the last chorus., zydeco
