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 any of 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 Rouge
South Carolina put out its
arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street
And I still
can't quite remember who helped me to my feet
Thank God for a love that followed the angel's
remedy
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
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 and chasing them with tea
You
should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak
Louisiana rain is falling
at my feet
Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisian rain is soaking
through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
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
