A E A
He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles
D
He used to talk about it
A
He'd just go on and on
E
He always said Louisana
A
Was where he felt at home
A E A
He was born in Nacogdoches
D
That's in East Texas
A
Not far from the border
E
But he liked to tell everybody
A
He was from Lake Charles
D A
Did an angel whisper in your ear
D A
And hold you close and take away your fear
E A
In those long last moments
A
We used to drive
E A
Thru Lafayette and Baton Rouge
D
In a yellow Camino
A
Listening to Howling Wolf
E
He liked to stop in Lake Charles
A
Cause that's the place that he loved
A E A
Did you run about as far as you could go
D
Down the Lousiana highway
A
Across Lake Ponchatrain
E
Now your soul is in Lake Charles
A
No matter what they say
D A
Did an angel whisper in your ear
D A
And hold you close and take away your fear
E A
In those long last moments
