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 A strange combination of a woman and a child A strange situation stoppin' every twenty 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 couple cups of coffee And a couple dollars change Callin' Baton Rouge Operator get me on through I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge Hurry up won't you put her on the line I want talk to that girl one more time. Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine It won't be long until I'm with you all the time Until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime. Callin' Baton Rouge.
