Written by Lucinda Williams

Buddy Miller guitar

John Ciambotti bass guitar

Donald Lindley drums

Charlie Sexton dobro guitar

Roy Bittan accordion

Jim Lauderdale harmony vocals

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 Louisana

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

Thru Lafayette and Baton Rouge

In a yellow El 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 Lousiana 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 used to talk about it

He'd just go on and on

He always said Louisana

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
