LOUISIANA RAIN Lyrics

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
