You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

I got a woman livin' in L.A.

I got a woman waiting for my pay,

And if I don't be there by morning,

She'll know that I must have gone the other way.

Bridge:

F#m B

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?

Bridge:

Finding my way back to you girl,

Lonely and blue, mistreated too.

Sometimes I think of you girl,

Is it true that you think of me too?

Verse:

I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.

I left her waiting, hope she's waiting for me still.

If I don't be there by morning

You know that I, I never will.
