Mobile Blue - John Mellencamp

Headed south to work a pipeline

Make some cash while in the meantime

Baby jumped a bird and flew away

Lordy, Lordy, my, my mind’s achin'

Drunk and down and out and makin' time

With anything that comes my way

Staggered to the Greyhound station

L.A. ma’am my destination

Put me on that dog take me away

Mobile blue Lord, I can’t make it

Got me down Lord, I can’t take it

Here in Alabama for one more day

Lord I called a friend in Frisco Lord

He said baby’s in L. A

Here I am in Alabama and two thousand miles away

Lord I got them mobile blues today

Aw I left her back in Frisco, Lord

She begged me not to go

I know somebody must have told her

That I travel and I lie

That they saw me drunk in mobile

With some wired up chick from Jacksonville

And brother did we look like we could fly

I staggered to the Greyhound station

L.A. ma’am my destination

Put me on that dog take me away

I got them mobile blues today

I got them mobile blues today
