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 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.
