I spent last night in the arms of a girl from Louisiana
B                         E          A                       B
And though I'm out on the highway my thoughts are still with her
C#m             B               A           E
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
B                   E             A            B                   E
Such a strange situation stoppin 'every twenty miles callin' Baton Rouge
C#m           B
A replay of  events last night
A                E
Rolls through my mind
B        E
Except a scene or two
A                   B
Erased by sweet red wine
C#m          B
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
A           E
So I change lanes
B               E
I need a cup of coffee
      A              B
And a couple dollars change
              E
Callin' Baton Rouge
E
Operator, won't you put 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
