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 ohright

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

Ooh ho ho hoo

little Baton Rouge

Sweet Baton Rouge

My Baton Rouge

oooh oooh ooooh
