Headin' south on 61
Mardi Gras had just begun
Left home today
New Orleans an hour away
Just wondering what she has done
Her heart is back in Baton Rouge
Shotgun house Dawn Avenue
You can't choose where love takes you
Her heart is back in Baton Rouge
She never knew just what went wrong
But one summer morning he was gone
Two hour ride
Keepin' all the tears inside
She'll be back home where she belongs
She's goin' back to Baton Rouge
A girl with nothing left to lose
You can't choose where love takes you
She's going back to Baton Rouge
She don't need him like before
The day that he walked out the door
That town meant nothing anymore
She's goin' back to Baton Rouge
A girl with nothing left to lose
You can't choose where love takes you
She's going back to Baton Rouge
