Lake Charles

He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles

He used to talk about it, he'd just go on and on

He always said Louisiana

Was where he felt at home

He was born in Nacogdoches

That's in East Texas, not far from the border

But he liked to tell everybody

That he was from Lake Charles

Did an angel whisper in your ear?

Hold you close, take away your fear?

In those long last moments

We used to drive through Lafayette and Baton Rogue

In a yellow El Camino, listening to Howlin' Wolf

He liked to stop in Lake Charles

Because that's the place he loved

Did you run 'bout as far as you could go

Down the Louisiana highway chasing that long black train?

Well, now your soul's in Lake Charles

No matter what they say

Did an angel whisper in your ear?

Hold you close, take away your fear?

In those long last moments

Did an angel whisper in your ear?

Hold you close, take away your fear?

In those long last moments

In those long last moments
