Lyrics

Drove from
Albuquerque to
Ft. Smith,
Arkansas Then all the way to
New Orleans in time for
Mardi Gras
You should have seen... the craziness down there
What I really mean...
I wish you were here
And we were down on
Beale Street,
Memphis, Tennessee
With the blues, the booze, the bar-
B-Q's, our name on the marquee
And you should have seen... the crowd we drew in there
What I really mean...
I wish you were here
I'm sending you this postcard
To tell you that
I'm fine And let you know wherever
I go You never leave my mind
Broke down in
Kentucky; in
Richmond there was snow
We saw our friends in
Charlotte; we played on the radio
And you should have seen... us singin' on the air
What I really mean...
I wish you were here
I'm sending you this postcard
To tell you that
I'm fine And let you know wherever
I go You never leave my mind
Tonight we're in the city, and it's like
Disneyland
But I'm sick and tired and
I can't wait to get back home again
And I have this dream... you'll be waitin' there
What I really mean...
I wish you were here
What I really mean...
I wish you were here
