A                                       E
I got paid then I was on the road in a heartbeat,
Mama said, mama said,
           A
"You got a one track mind,
                                 B
But you ain't gonna get all the time.",
She wasn't lyin'

Chorus:
             E             B
I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo
 A                     E
Just to get away from you
            E                   B
I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong
         A                       E
But baby all the good women are gone

My last dime, got used up
On gasoline, know what I mean, what I mean
Atlanta, GA by the end of the day
No other way, that's what I say

Chorus

C#m               E
And everything I had to say
                  C#m
Wish we'd gone so far away
      B
Well now I can't stay

Blacktop, I can't stop
For no one, it's no fun, no fun
With a one track mind if you don't
get lucky some time
But still I'm tryin'
