Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Louisiana Rain

As they said
(A-one, two, on, two, three, four)

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 any of those sailor boys

Louisiana rain
Is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing the 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 angel's 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 jukebox in some all-night beanery
Yeah, he was eating pills like candy
And chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips
That old black Molly B

Louisiana rain
Is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing the 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
Now, it's 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
