Baton Rouge Lyrics

There's a quiet, little slat wood house down by Dawson Creek

With an old GoodYear tire tied up for a swing

It was there I was there I learned to write my songs and dared to chase my dreams

It's where I fell in love with Baton Rouge

Now, a Dixie wind is blowin'. Callin' me away

From the city that I love. Where I was born and raised

I see the Mississippi blowin' like tears down her face

But for now, it's good-bye Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge, where the sweet magnolias bloom

I can hear the cheers in the Fall each year from the campus at L-S-U

Now I've been away too long and I can hear that siren's song

Callin' me back to Baton Rouge

Well, I've been on the road now just shy of thirteen years

Like a mistress, she comes at night and whispers in my ear

That old city she reminds me of good times I hold dear

And, it won't be long till I wake up in Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge, where the sweet magnolias bloom

I can hear the cheers in the Fall each year from the campus at L-S-U

Now I've been away too long and I can hear that siren's song

Callin' me back to Baton Rouge

Spanish moss and city lights they call to me

Fireflies light the night sky as far as the eye can see

When I take that drive down Highlands Road

I'll know I'm finally home

Back in the lovin' arms of Baton Rouge

Yeah, Baton Rouge, where the sweet magnolias bloom

I can hear the cheers in the Fall each year from the campus at L-S-U

Now I've been away too long and I can hear that siren's song

Callin' me back to Baton Rouge

So, when I hear that siren's song

It won't be long

Till I find myself at home in Baton Rouge

It's callin' me back to Baton Rouge
