Calling Baton Rouge Songtext
von Doug Kershaw

I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
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 hundred miles
Callin′ Baton Rouge


A replay of events last night's roll through my mind
Except for a scene or two erased by sweet red wine
I see a truck stop sign ahead, so I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee and a couple of 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 wanna 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
But until then, I′ll spend my money up right down to my last dime
Callin' Baton Rouge
