[Verse 1]
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 have 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

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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]
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?
[Outro]
I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill
I left her waiting, I hope she is waiting for me still
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will
