Well, it was out in

California by the

San Diego sea

That was when

I was taken in and it left its mark on me

Yeah, she nearly drove me crazy with all those china toys

And I know she really didn't mean a thing to those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet

Baby, I'm noticing the change as

I move down the street

Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same when

I reach Baton

RougeSouth

Carolina put out its arms for me

Right up until everything went black somewhere on lonely street

And it was just some mean old poison that

I took up my nose

Thank God for a love that followed the angel's antidote

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears

Running down my face washing out the years

Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same when

I reach Baton

Rouge, oh yeah

Well, I never will get over this

English refugee

Singing to the jukebox in some all night beanery

Yeah, he was eating pills like candy, chasing them with tea

You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet

Honey, I'm noticing a change as

I move down the street

Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same when

I reach Baton

RougeLouisiana rain, yeah, it's falling just like tears

It's running down my face washing out the years

Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same when

I reach Baton

RougeNo, I may never be the same when

I reach Baton
