B Blue sky upon the horizon, Private eye B7 is on my trail, E7 And if I don't be there by morning B She'll know that I must've spent the night in jail. I been runnin' from Memphis to LA 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. Chorus: D#m7 G#m Finding my way back to you, girl, B E lonely and blue, and mistreated too, D#m7 G#m Sometimes I think of you, girl, C#m7 F#6 F#7 is it true you think of me too? I got a woman living in LA 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 you think of me too? I left my woman with a twenty-dollar bill, I left her waiting, I hope she's waiting for me still. But if I don't be there by morning I guess that I, I never will.
