Biography:
Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013) was an American rock artist originally from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Especially while a member of the The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Reed broke new ground for the rock genre in several important dimensions, introducing more mature and intellectual themes to what was then considered a largely simplistic genre of music.
In 1964 Reed moved to New York City and began working as an in-house songwriter for Pickwick Records.

Lou Reed – Baton Rouge
{Am/D} G
When I think of you Baton Rouge
Am/D G
I think of a mariachi band
Am/D G
I think of sixteen and a crisp green football field
C G
I think of the girl I never had
Am/D G
When I think of you Baton Rouge
Am/D G
I think of a back seat in a car
Am/D G
The windows are foggy and so are we
C G
as the police asked for our I.D.
G
So helpless
C
so helpless
G C
Ooohhh, so helpless
G C
ooohhh, so helpless
G C
Ooohhh, so helpless
C (let ring)
so helpless
Well I once had a car lost it in a divorce
the judge was a woman of course
She said give her the car and the house and your taste
or else I set the trial date
So now when I think of you Baton Rouge
and the deep southern belles, ah, with their touch
I wonder where love ends and hate starts to blush
in the fields in the swamps in the rush
In the terra-cotta cobwebs of your mind, ah
when did you start seeing me as a spider spinning web
Of malicious intent and you as poor poor me
at the fire at the joint, this disinterred and broken mount
in the bedroom in the house where we were unmarried
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
When was I the villain in your heart
putting the brake on your start
you slapped my face and cried and screamed
that's what marriage came to mean
The bitterest ending of a dream
You wanted children and I did not
was that what it was all about
You might get a laugh when you hear me shout
you might get a laugh when you hear me shout
I wish I had
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
Sometimes when I think of Baton Rouge
I see us with two and a half strapping sons
One and a half flushed daughters preparing to marry
and two fat grandsons I can barely carry
Daddy, uncle, family gathered there for grace
a dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space
The dream recedes in the morning with a bad aftertaste
and I'm back in the big city worn from the race of the chase
what a waste
So thanks for the card the announcement of child
and I must say you and Sam look great
Your daughter's gleaming in that white wedding dress
with pride
sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile
So I try not to think of Baton Rouge
or of a, of a, of a mariachi band
Or of sixteen and a crisp green football field
and the girl, and the girl I never had, had, had, had
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
