[Intro]
Well, I Ecaught you with him on those damn, slick, sEticky satin sheets
Then I Apacked my things and B7then I hit the Estreets
[Verse 1]
E87 southbound to San AnB7tone
YB7ou’ve got your baby, I got got no hoEme
EThe pavements burning down at 1A02
AI don’t need to hEear no more excB7uses that I don’t need yEou
[Verse 2]
ELord, the sun keeps beating me B7down
AB7nd it’s hotter than heEll
And B7if I’m lucky I’ll catch a ride but Eyou can never tell
I’d Arather be here with the bugs and flies than Eback there hearing your alibis
I B7heard all that I’m gonna hear you say
I’B7m gonna take my pride and go the other waEy
[Instrumental]
 E   B7   E   A   E   B7    Ex4 
[Verse 3]
E87 southbound to San AB7ntone
IB7t’s getting late out, I’m 40 miles from homEe
EThe rain keeps falling like the tears in my Aeyes
IA’m just trying to wEash away all the huB7rt from all your liEes
[Verse 4]
ELightning streaks aB7cross the evening sEky
And B7if I’m lucky I’ll make it big or laEy right down and die
AI know when the morning comes I’ll sEtill be a walking son of a gun
And aB7fternoon comes rolling around
I’ll have ten mB7ore miles and one more tEown
[Verse 5]
E87 southbound to San AB7ntone
YB7ou’ve got your baby, I’ve got no homEe
EThe pavements burning at A92
I don’t need to Ehear no more exB7cuses and I don’t love Eyou.
I don’t need to Ehear no more exB7cuses and I don’t love Eyou.
