Lyrics
I (Bb)left my home in Norfolk,
Virginia; California on my (Eb)mind.
I (F7)straddled that Greyhound and rode him into Raleigh and on across Caroline.
We stopped at Charlotte;
we bypassed Rock Hill;
we never was a minute late.
(Eb)We was (F7)ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
rollin' out of Georgia state.
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle,
halfway across Alabam.
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham.
(Bb)left my home in Norfolk, Virginia;
California on my (Eb)mind.
I (F7)straddled that Greyhound and rode him into Raleigh and on across Caroline.
We stopped at Charlotte;
we bypassed Rock Hill;
we never was a minute late.
(Eb)We was (F7)ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
rollin' out of Georgia state.
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle,
halfway across Alabam.
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham.
