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.
