Back to Louisville Lyrics by Jim Ed Brown

Evening

1972

[Verse 1]
My baby's mad, she's fightin' mad
'Cause I've been gone too long
She told me on the phone
That she don't like my being gone
Though my feet are pointin' west
I'll turn them around
Anything that's got four wheels
I'll try to thumb it down
[Chorus]
Because I hate to think
About my babe
If I get back
To Louisville too late
[Verse 2]
Baby said she's lonely
And she wants her man around
And when she said she wants me
She don't mean a month from now
[Chorus]
And I'll lose her sure
As day is gonna break
If I get back
To Louisville too late
[Verse 3]
My baby's love is, oh, so good
I've got to get right back
Ain't nothin' on this road to see
That's worth a-losin' that
And that dimе it took the call
Was a dime well spеnt
If it had not been for that
I'd still be headin' west
[Chorus]
And baby vowed
To me she wouldn't wait
If I get back
To Louisville too late
[Verse 4]
Baby said, she's lonely
And she wants her man around
When I get back I know
That woman's gonna chain me down
[Chorus]
But I'd rather have the chains
Than face my fate
If I get back
To Louisville too late
[Outro]
Yeah, if I get back to Louisville too late
Say you want me to drive a little bit, friend?
If I get back to Louisville too late
Why I've dogged it all the way from LA to New York many times
(If I get back to Louisville too late)
I'm what you call the original LA turnaround
