Baton Rouge or Frisco, it's always the same Baton Rouge or Frisco, I can't forget her name In the dead of night, on my way out of town And by morning light, I was covering ground Every thought of her was gone I was just moving on 'Til I read next day Marie and a note were found When it was much to late to turn around Baton Rouge or Frisco, it's always the same Baton Rouge or Frisco, I can't forget her name Just a passing love that was all I could give Be she understood the way I live All I wanted from Marie was a sweet memory When her lips reached out and touched the man in me And now that memory won't let me be Baton Rouge or Frisco, it's always the same Baton Rouge or Frisco, I can't forget her name
