Callin' Baton Rouge Lyrics

 (Dennis Linde) 

 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 

 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 
 Callin' 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 

 Callin' Baton Rouge 
 Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge
