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, oh oh oh
