Callin' Baton Rouge

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
