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
(chorus)
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.
oooooo hooo hoooooooo
Callin` Baton Rouge.
*chorus*
oooooooo hoooo hooooooooo
Callin` Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge
