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 

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  
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
