_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ I left _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California [D] on my mind.
[E]
Straddled that Greyhound and rode him in a Raleigh and on [A] across Carolina.
I hadn't more than trouble to turn into a struggle halfway across [D] Alabama.
[E] Well, a hound broke down and left us all stranded in downtown [A] Birmingham.
Well right away a moment drew train ticket right across the [D] Pacific Clea.
[E] I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham smoking in [A] the New Orleans. _
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana, just help me get to Houston [D] town.
[E] There are people there caring a little about me and I'm old [A] enough to pull down.

_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
Sure as you were born they bought me a silk suit and put luggage in my [D] hand.
[E]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet [A] to the promised land.
Working on a seafoam stake on a carty flying over to the [D] Golden State.
[E] And a pilot told us in 13 minutes he would set us at the [A] terminal gate.
Swing low, chariot, come down easy, taxi to the [D] terminal zone.
[E] Cut your hinges and cool your wings and let me make it to [A] the telephone. _
Locked down in the Emory Norfolk, Virginia, side 1 [D]-4-10-0-9.
[E] Well I pulled back home to the promised land, caught a couple boys on [A] the line.
