Baton Rouge Lyrics

Can't see my face
In a looking glass, who's looking back?
Can't decide
Can't take this track
Going deep beneath the clouds of sin
Get on, get on...

Can't read this page
It was written on before you had eyes to see
Can't find my way
I'm some where between Baton Rouge and New Orleans

This is our life, this is our time
You be yours and I'll be mine
This is our world, this is our time
And I'll see you

Can't seem to explain
This need to plant deep inside bitter seed
Only if we escape
This city of sin built for you but it's calling me in

This is our life, this is our time
You be yours and I'll be mine
This is our world, this is our time
And I'll see you

Some where between then and now
We lost something, trying too hard
Some where between here and there
We forgot who we are

This is our life, this is our time
You be yours and I'll be mine
This is our world, this is our time
And I'll see you

This is our life, this is our time
You be yours and I'll be mine
This is our world, this is our time
And I'll see you

You be yours and I'll be mine
Our world, our time

The Nixons were founded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by singer/guitarist Zac Maloy, guitarist Jesse Davis, bassist Ricky Brooks, and drummer Tye Robison. The group released their debut EP Six in 1992 (after a obscure self-titled album, probably released in 1990) on Dragon Street Records and replaced the original drummer with John Humphrey before releasing Halo in 1994 on Rainmaker label. This album features several songs also included in Foma, their first official full length record, released out in 1995 on MCA Records. Foma spawned the radio hit "Sister" and the group capitalized on their success with a big tour (about 300 shows in one year), including dates with Soul Asylum. Two years later, the group replaced Ricky Brooks with Ricky Wolking and released a self-titled album, also known as "the red album" which featured songs like In Spite of Herself and Baton Rouge. Though The Nixons failed to match the success of Foma and the band left MCA, their consistent gigging ensured a strong cult audience for 1999's Scrapbook EP (featuring b-sides, live and acoustic performances), which saw the band return to Rainmaker, and their fourth album The Latest Thing, which was released by Koch in early 2000.
