"Louisiana Rain" lyrics

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
