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 he loved      Did you run about as far as you could go?   Down the Louisiana highway across Lake Ponchartrain   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 Louisianan 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
