Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Running down my face, washing out the years
You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak
South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Louisian rain is soaking through my shoes
Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Well I never will get over this English refugee
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys
