Garth Brooks - "Callin Baton Rouge"

Callin Baton Rouge

Writer: Dennis Linde

Intro - D

(verse 1)
Bm A G D
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
A D G A
And though I'm out on the highway my thoughts are still with her
Bm A G D
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
A D G A D
such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles callin' Baton Rouge

(verse 2)
A replay of last night's events roll through my mind
Except a scene or two erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee and a couple dollars change callin' Baton Rouge

(chorus)
D
Operator won't you put me on through,

I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge,
D
Hurry up won't you put her on the line,
G
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time

Solo : G - A - G - A

(bridge)
D D7M/E Bm A (A - Bm - D7M/E - walk)
Hello SBmantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
D D7M/E Bm A
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
G A D G
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime
A D
Oh oh oh in Baton Rouge,

((chorus)
D
Operator won't you put me on through,

I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge,
D
Hurry up won't you put her on the line,
G
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time

Oh oh oh in Baton Rouge,
