[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[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

[Outro]

Callin' Baton Rouge

Sweet Baton Rouge

My Baton Rouge

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
