if i don't be there by morning

Lyrics

, 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. 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.
