My baby's mad she's fightin' at 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 commit 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 the 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 if I get back to Louisville too late
