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 calm it down

Because I hate to think about my babe 

If I get back to Louisville, too late.



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

And I'll lose her sure as day is gonna break 

If I get back to Louisville, too late.

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 to losin' that

And that dime it took to call 

Was a dime well spent

If it had not been for that 

I'd still be headin' west

And baby vowed to me she wouldn't wait 

If I get back to Louisville, too late.



Baby said she's lonely 

And she wants her man around

When I get back 

I know that woman's gonna chain me down

But I'd rather have the chains than face my fate 

If I get back to Louisville, too late



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 dogged it all the way from LA to New York)

(many times)



If I get back to Louisville, too late



(I'm what they call the original LA turn around)



If I get...
