Louisiana Rain

It was out in California By that San Diego Sea That was when I was taken in And it left its mark on me Well, she nearly drove me crazy With all those China toys I knew she really didn't mean a thing To all those sailor boys Louisiana rain Falling at my feet And hey, I'm noticing a change As I move down the street Louisiana rain Is soaking through my shoes I might never be the same When I reach Baton Rouge South Carolina Put out its arms to 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 long-neck bottle The angel's remedy Louisiana rain Falling just like tears Running down my face Washing out the years Louisiana rain Is soaking through my shoes I might 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 Molly Jean Louisiana rain Falling just like tears Running down my face Washing out the years Louisiana rain Falling on my shoes I might never be the same When I reach Baton Rouge Louisiana rain Is falling at my feet And I'm noticing a change As I move down the street Louisiana rain Soaking through my shoes I might never be the same When I reach Baton Rouge
