| | Bm | A | G | D |
| | I spent last | night in the arms of a | girl in Louisi | ana |
| | 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 |
| A replay of last night's 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 |
| | D |
| | Operator won't you put me on through, |
| I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge, |
| | D |
| | Hurry up won't you put her on the line, |
