Callin baton rouge

 
7   7     7   -7   -7  -7  -6 
I spent last night in the arms 
 
-6 -6 -6  -6  -6 -6 5  6 6 
Of a girl in lou-i-si-an-a 
 
 6     6   6   6  6   6   6   8 
And though Im out on the high-way 
 
-8    7      7   -7    -6   6 
My thoughts are still with her 
 
 -6  7    7     7  7  7   -7 
Such a strange com-bi-na-tion  
 
-7 -6-6  -6  -6 6   6   
of a wo-man and a child 
 
  6  6    6     6  6 6  8 
Such a strange sit-u-a-tion  
 
 -8   7   7  -6  7    7    -8 
stop-pin ev-ery hun-dred miles 
 
  -7 -7 -7  -7    7 
Call-in ba-ton rouge 
 
A replay of last nights 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
