[A]
So I get up, I left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California on [D] my mind.
[E]
Straddle that three-hundred road in Mineralia and on across [A] Carolina.
I had more trouble than turned into a struggle halfway across [D] Alabama.
[E] Well, I downed Bo Down and left a soul stranded in downtown [A] Birmingham.
Well, right away I bought me a food train ticket right across the [D] Pacific Rim.
I [E] was on that midnight wire out of Birmingham smoking [A] in a New Orleans.
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana, just help me get to [D] Houston town.
[E] There are people there who care a little about me and I won't let the poor [A] boy down.
Hey,
[D] [E]
[A] should you have borne, they bought me a silk suit and put a luggage in [D] my hand.
[E] And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the [A] promised land.
Working for a cheap old snake on a carnival line over to the [D] gold stage.
[E] I'm top of the street thirteen minutes in, we'll set into the [A] trouble cage.
Sweet and cold charity, I'm down easy, thanks to the [D] trouble zone.
[E]
Put your hinges in, cool your wings, and let me make it to [A] the telephone.
North Carolina, in mid-North Fork, Virginia, time one o' [D] four, ten o' nine.
[E] Telephone's back home, this is the promised land, call the telephone [A] boys on the line.
