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   Stopping 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 feeling 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
