When I think of you Baton Rouge I think of a Mariachi band I think of sixteen and a crisp green football field I think of a girl I never had
When I think of you Baton Rouge I think of a back seat in a car Windows are foggy and so are we as the police asked for our I.D.
So helpless so helpless
Ooohhh, ooohhh, so helpless ooohhh, so helpless Ooohhh, so helpless so helpless
Well I once had a car lost it in a divorce the judge was a woman of course She said give her the car and the house and your taste or else I set the trial date
So now when I think of you Baton Rouge and the deep southern belles with their touch I wonder where love ends and hate starts to blush in the fields in the swamps in the rush
In the terra-cotta cobwebs of your mind when did you start seeing me as a spider spinning web Of malicious intent and you as poor, poor me at the fire at the joint, this disinterred and broken mount in the bedroom in the house where we were unmarried
So helpless, so helpless so helpless So helpless, so helpless so helpless
When was I the villain in your heart putting the brake on your start you slapped my face and cried and screamed that's what marriage came to mean The bitterest ending of a dream
You wanted children and I did not was that what it was all about You might get a laugh when you hear me shout you might get a laugh when you hear me shout I wish I had
So helpless, so helpless so helpless So helpless, so helpless so helpless
Sometimes when I think of Baton Rouge I see us with two and a half strapping sons One and a half flushed daughters preparing to marry and two fat grandsons I can barely carry
Daddy, uncle, family gathered there for grace a dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space The dream recedes in the morning with a bad aftertaste and I'm back in the big city worn from the race of the chase what a waste
So thanks for the card the announcement of child and I must say you and Sam look great Your daughter's gleaming in that - - white wedding dress with pride sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile
So I try not to think of Baton Rouge or of a, of a, of a Mariachi band Or of sixteen and a crisp green football field and the girl, and the girl I never had
So helpless, so helpless so helpless So helpless, so helpless so helplessTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
