Bm           A7                     G             D
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
    A7                    D          G                       A7
And though I'm out on the highway my thoughts are still with her
Bm                  A7          G
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
A7             D                  G             A7
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
              D
Callin' Baton Rouge


  Bm        A7           G                       D
a replay of last night's events rolls through my mind
A7       D            G                   A7
Except a scene or two erased by sweet red wine
Bm          A7              G                 D
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes
A7              D            G              A7
I need a cup of coffee and a couple dollars change
              D
Callin' Baton Rouge
