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

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
Ooh, hoo, hoo
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

Ooh, hoo, hoo
Callin' Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge
My Baton Rouge
