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? |
| And hold you close, and take away your fear? |
| In those long, last moments |
| We used to drive through Lafayette to Baton Rogue |
| In a yellow El Camino, listening to Howlin' Wolf |
| He liked to stop in Lake Charles because that’s the place that he loved |
| Did you run about as far as you could go? |
| Down on the Louisiana highway, across Lake Pontchartrain? |
| Now your soul is in Lake Charles, no matter what they say |
| Did an angel whisper in your ear? |
| Hold you close, and take away your fear? |
| In those long, last moments |
| In those long, last moments |
