if i don't be there by morning
Blue sky upon the horizon Private eye is on my trail And if I don't be there by morning You know that I must have spent the night in jail I've been running from Memphis to L A. Had an appointment set sometime for today And if I don't be there by morning You know that I must have gone the other way Finding my way back to you girl Lonely and blue and mistreated too Sometimes I think of 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 Chorus I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill I left her waiting, I hope she's waiting for me still If I don't be there by morning You know that I, I never will
