Karaoke Track: Lake Charles by Lucinda Williams (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

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 LOUISIANA
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
THROUGH LAFAYETTE
TO BATON ROUGE
IN A YELLOW EL CAMINO
LISTENING TO HOWLIN' WOLF
HE LIKED TO STOP IN LAKE CHARLES
'CAUSE THAT'S THE PLACE HE LOVED

DID YOU RUN ABOUT AS FAR
AS YOU COULD GO?

DOWN THE LOUISIANA HIGHWAY
ACROSS LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN?
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

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 LOUISIANA
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
IN THOSE LONG LAST MOMENTS
