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
