Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take me to Lake Charles, I can win a hundred dollars Buy some milk and mashed potatoes, maybe buy you some flowers I lost my license when Rita came ashore Tryin' to help my sister, I dropped it on the floor [Chorus] So take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles [Verse 2] I swear if you give me a ride over there I'll buy the buffets and a dress you can wear Twenty-one's comin' to me, I can feel it in my bones I'll have to change my name to "Savings and Loan" [Chorus] So take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles [Verse 3] Baby, I need that hundred dollars to pay down my loan I hocked all my tools when I broke my bone I was stuck in Sour Lake, just a nickel to my name My cousin comin' to get me in the drizzling rain [Chorus] So take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles [Verse 4] I can't drive legal, I can't drive at all Interstate 10 is a-crawlin' with the law Them Louisiana state troopers, you know, they never sleep They got nasty disposition and they target the free [Chorus] So take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles Take me to Lake Charles
