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

And baby vowed to me she wouldn't wait
If I get back to Louisville, too late

And she wants her man around
When I get back

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

(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
