Intro: D 

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

Bm            A                          G                             D 
A replay of lasts nights events roll through my mind 
A                 D                         G                          A 
Except a scene or two arranged by sweet red wine  
Bm                   A                      G                          D 
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes 
A                        D                     G                           A                      D 
I need a cup of cofee and a couple dollars change callin' Baton Rouge 

D 
Operator, won't you put 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. 

G     A 

D              A                     Bm                           G 
Hello, Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin fine 
D                         A   
And it won't be long until 
      Bm                       B 
I'm with you all the time,  
               G                  A                                D               G 
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime, 
      A
