Bridge:

Finding my way back to you girl,

Lonely and blue, mistreated too.

Sometimes I think of you girl,

Is it true that you think of me too?

Verse:

 
I left my woman with  
A 
twenty dollar bill.

I left her waiting, hope she’s waiting for me still.

If I don’t be there by morning

You know that I, I never will.
