Lake Charles Lyrics - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

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 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 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
