Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith Arkansas

All the way to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras
Em D
You should have seen the craziness down there
Em G D
What I really mean, I wish you were here
We were down on Beale Street in Memphis, TN
With the blues, the booze and barbeques, our name on the marquee
And you should have seen the crowd we drew in there
What I really mean, I wish you were here
Bridge:
Em G
I’m sending you this postcard to tell you that I’m fine
Em G A
To let you know where I go, you never leave my mind
We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow
Saw our friends in Charlotte, we played on the radio
And you should have seen us singin’ on the air
What I really mean, I wish you were here
Instrumental
Bridge
Tonight we’re in the city, it’s like Disneyland
But I’m sick and tired and I can’t wait to get back home again
And I had this dream youll be waitn’ there
What I really mean, I wish you were here
What I really mean, I wish you were here
