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
