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

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 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
