callin' baton rouge Songtext / Lyric

I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana

And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her

Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles

Callin' Baton Rouge


A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind

Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine

And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes

I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change

Callin' Baton Rouge


Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge

Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time


Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time

But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime

Callin' Baton Rouge


Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge

Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time

Callin' Baton Rouge


Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge
