Louisiana Rain

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
