Tom: G

G               Em           C           G         
Baton Rouge or Frisco, it’s always the same
                Em        C                 G         
Baton Rouge or Frisco, I can’t forget her name

       Gm           F                 Gm   F
In the dead of night in my way out of town
       Gm            F          D
And by morning light I was covered in ground
      C               G          D           G
Every part of her was gone I was just moving on
       Em              Am       D       
Till I read next day Marie (??) found
And it was much to late to turn around

Chorus

Just a passing love that was all I could give
Be she understood the way I live
All I wanted from Marie was a sweet memory
When her lips reached out and touched the man in me
And now that memory won’t let me be
