Lake Charles

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 he was from Lake Charles



Did an angel whisper in your ear



And hold you close and take away your fear



In those long last moments?



We used to drive through Lafayette and Baton Rouge



In a yellow Camino listening to howling wolf



He liked to stop in Lake Charles



'Cause that's the place he loved



Did you run about as far as you could go?



Down the Louisiana highway across Lake Ponchartrain



Now your soul is in Lake Charles no matter what they say



Did an angel whisper in your ear



And hold you close and take away your fear



In those long last moments?



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 Louisianan was where he felt at home



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?



In those long last moments
