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 [bad word] of a woman and a child 
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles 
Callin' Baton Rouge 

replay of last night's events 
Roll through my mind 
Except a scene or two 
Erased by sweet red wine 
And I see a [bad word] 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
