Mama was calling, but I couldn't answer
EbG#
I had a dog in the car, had a dog in my hands
EbG#Bb
I was walking with these worn-out shoes
EbG#
I tripped over Charlie and I hit the grass
EbG#
I was coming up running, I was coming up fast
EbG#Bb
But he beat me, just a-howling at the door
CmG#
Oh Sally, don't get down
EbBb
'Cause I been looking all over town
EbG#Bb
For a brand new set of wings for you
EbG#Bb
For a brand new set of wings for you
EGEGEGBbEbG#
Well I'm back in the house, bang my head on a wall
EbG#
Yeah and Charlie's still laughing about watching me fall
EbG#Bb
I say "Charlie, now what's the big idea?"
EbG#
I'm back in my room just packing my bags
EbG#
And I'm thinking November, about the time we've had
EbG#Bb
Just walking out by a stone wall
(chorus)

EbG#
I'm gonna get a ticket, gonna get on a plane
EbG#
Tell that pilot, take me so far away
EbG#Bb
So I can call you up, say I miss you like a fool
EbG#
Yeah but you don't put me down, you don't treat me bad
EbG#
Say you understand about this problem I have
EbG#Bb
Well sometimes, I know you still wonder
(chorus)
EbG#
Yeah got held up in Paris, caught smoking on a train
EbG#
If you ain't got your papers gonna get you detained
EbG#Bb
Don't believe me I've got the photographs to prove it
EbG#
You should've seen the look on the old man's face
EbG#
When the police threatened to haul him away
EbG#Bb
You know he was scared, but it was also kind of funny
(chorus)
EbG#
Yeah well I can't sleep at night, can't awake in the day
EbG#
And we got these guitars, got so much to say
EbG#Bb
But no time, no energy to say it
EbG#
Yeah when you still walk in the park there ain't nobody there
EbG#
There's a calm in the trees there's a cool in the air
EbG#Bb
And it's boring, but I found it kind of soothing
EbG#
Yeah in a couple of months when the leaves turn green
EbG#
When the seasons change, when the bird sings
EbG#Bb
Gonna grab you up, gonna take you here for good
EbG#
Yes and we'll walk by the river most every single day
EbG#
And we'll eat our dinner where the tourists play
EbG#Bb
You know the city's old but it never seems to get tired
(chorus)
