Blue sky upon the horizon,
|
Private eye on my trail,
|
And if I don't be there by morning
|
She'll know that I must've spent the night in jail.
|
|
I been runnin' from Memphis to L.A.,
|
Had an appointment set sometime for today
|
And if I don't be there by morning
|
She'll know that I must have gone the other way.
|
|
Finding my way home to you, girl, lonely and blue, mistreated too,
|
Sometimes I think about you, girl, is it true that you think of me too?
|
|
I got a woman living in L.A.,
|
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
|
And if I don't be there by morning
|
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray.
|
|
I left my woman with a twenty-dollar bill,
|
Left her waiting, hope she's waiting for me still.
|
But if I don't be there by morning
|
I guess that I never will.
|
|
Finding my way home to you, girl, lonely and blue, mistreated too,
|
Sometimes I think about you, girl, is it true that you think of me too?
|
|
I left my woman with a twenty-dollar bill,
|
Left her waiting, hope she's waiting for me still.
|
Well, if I don't be there by morning
|
I guess that I never will.
