Lake Charles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Did an angel whisper in your ear? And hold you close, and take away your fear? In those long, last moments [Verse 2] 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 he loved Did you run about as far as you could go? Down the Louisiana highway, across Lake Pontchartrain? Now your soul is in Lake Charles, no matter what they say [Chorus] Did an angel whisper in your ear? And hold you close, and take away your fear? In those long, last moments [Verse 1 - Modified] 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 [Chorus] Did an angel whisper in your ear? And hold you close, and take away your fear? In those long, last moments Did an angel whisper in your ear? And hold you close, and take away your fear? In those long, last moments
