My baby woke me up this morning, she told me she's Joliet bound
My baby woke me up this morning, she told me she's Joliet bound
She want to find four‑a highway, that's the main highway out of town
She wouldn't even talk with me, wouldn't even have a word to say
She wouldn't even talk with me, wouldn't even have a word to say
She asking all her friends around now, where she find number four‑a highway
Number four‑a highway, that's the main highway out of town
Number four‑a highway, that's the main highway out of town
And she leave out on that highway, I'm sure going to trail my baby down
I feel like taking my suitcase, setting down on the side of that lonesome highway
I feel like taking my suitcase, setting down on the side of that lonesome highway
If she leave there between nine and midnight, I'll overtake her just before day
If I had my machine, I wouldn't worry about leaving town
If I had my machine, I wouldn't worry about leaving town
I'd get on that four‑a highway, and god knows I'd roll that highway down
