I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana
And 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
Stopping every hundred miles
Calling 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
Calling 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 feeling 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
Calling 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
Calling Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge my Baton Rouge
