Eric Clapton - If I Don't Be There By Morning lyrics

By bob dylan and helena springs Blue sky upon the horizon, Private eye is on my trail, And if i don't be there by morning You know that i must have spent the night in jail. I've been running from memphis to l. a. Had an appointment set sometime for today, And if i don't be there by morning You know that i must have gone the other way. Finding my way back to you girl, Lonely and blue and mistreated too. Sometimes i think of you girl, Is it true that you think of me too? I got a woman living in l. a. I got a woman waiting for my pay, And if i don't be there by morning, Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray. Chorus I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill. I left her waiting, i hope she's waiting for me still. If i don't be there by morning You know that i, i never will.
