Baton Rouge Lyrics

That's where you'll find me

Down in Baton Rouge

Wearing that lipstick that you gave me

Up on your mama's roof

So don't you cry about it

You're gonna have to do without it

One day it'll be so clear

You have to get out of here

You can't let that golden sky turn grey

They've got the bourbon

Down in Baton Rouge

And they can fix all of your hurtin

In dark and dusty rooms

So won't you believe me

That tomorrow I will be leaving

I'm going to the other side

Of that Mason Dixon line

To pray the lord my soul to take

I tried to tell her

Come down to Bassoon Elise

And we can talk about the weather

Under the willow trees

But time did some crazy things

And my love was torn into a million tiny strings

I guess this is my life now

There's no one to hold me down

And every road sign points the way

To Baton Rouge
