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?
Hold you close, take away your fear?
In those long last moments
[Verse 2]
We used to drive through Lafayette and 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 'bout as far as you could go
Down the Louisiana highway chasing that long black train?
Well, now your soul's in Lake Charles
No matter what they say
[Chorus]
Did an angel whisper in your ear?
Hold you close, take away your fear?
In those long last moments
[Chorus]
Did an angel whisper in your ear?
Hold you close, take away your fear?
In those long last moments
In those long last moments
