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   [ ac.guitar ]   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
