Lyrics

By tom petty

Well, it was out in california by the san diego sea
That was when I was taken in, and it left its mark on me
Yeah, she nearly drove me crazy with all those china toys
And I know she really didn't mean a thing to those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing a change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach baton rouge

South carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on lonely street
And I still can't quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
Thank god for a long-neck bottle
The angels remedy

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach baton rouge

Well, I never will get over this english refugee
Singing to the juke-box in some all-nite beanery
Yeah, he was eating pills like candy
And chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips at old black molly b

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing a change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach baton rouge

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
