Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith Arkansas 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 We were down on Beale Street in Memphis, TN With the blues, the booze and barbeques, 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 Bridge: I’m sending you this postcard to tell you that I’m fine To let you know where I go, you never leave my mind We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow 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 Instrumental Bridge Tonight we’re in the city, it’s like Disneyland But I’m sick and tired and I can’t wait to get back home again And I had this dream youll be waitn’ there What I really mean, I wish you were here What I really mean, I wish you were here
