Lyrics:
SNOWED UNDER IN BATON ROUGE
Words and Music:
Donna Aylor / Susie Marshall
When you left me last year
No one heard me cry
My tears fell like snowflakes
Falling from a midnight sky
Now I face a lonely winter
On the banks of this bayou
Tho it rarely ever snows here
I’m snowed under in Baton Rouge
CHORUS:
THE HURT IS BURIED DEEP IN MY CHEST
LIKE A WEIGHT I CANNOT MOVE
TIL MY LOVE FOR YOU IS OVER
I’M SNOWED UNDER IN BATON ROUGE
I saw you this afternoon
Looking at diamond rings
Heard you tell the salesman
You will marry in the spring
I just walked out the door
Before my heart broke in two
Now tears fall like an avalanche
I’m snowed under in Baton Rouge
REPEAT CHORUS
As I lay by the fireplace
I can taste your sweet kiss
Oh I’m married to your mem’ry
On lonely nights like this
I’m stirring dying embers
In our bed without you
Holding onto your pillow
Snowed under in Baton Rouge
REPEAT CHORUS
I’M SNOWED UNDER IN BATON ROUGE
