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 Louisana

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
Thru Lafayette and Baton Rouge
In a yellow Camino

Listening to Howling Wolf
He liked to stop in Lake Charles
Cause that's the place that he loved
Did you run about as far as you could go

Down the Lousiana highway
Across Lake Ponchatrain
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

(SOLO)

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 Louisana

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
