Headed south to work to 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. means my destination Put me on that dog, take me away Mobile blues baby, I can't make it Got me down Lord, I can't take it Here in Alabama for one more day I called a friend in Frisco He said baby's in L.A. Here I am in Alabama two thousand miles away Lord I got this mobile blues today I left her back in Frisco, Lord And 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. means my destination Put me on that dog, take me away Lord I got this mobile blues today Lord I got this mobile blues today
