boogie my way back home

hey you with the guitar. where did you play last night?

i do believe it was in memphis

but i can't remember right now. 'cause i been foul politicin'

and i acted in fear to be. i had to get up five this morning

with them bells playing in my head. sometimes i work so hard

i'm gonna play my fingers to the bone. well

i can boogie

boogie

boogie on my way back home. well

i've been workin' every night

for the pastes buy meats and needs. i'm gonna finish up tomorrow night

and turn myself a plane back east. i'm gonna do my work

so i can help my pain and rest. well

i'll be back here someday soon

hope i can give my best. sometimes i work so hard

i'm gonna play my fingers to the bone. and now i can boogie

boogie

boogie on my way back home. yeah. well

my axe is gettin' rusty

and an old slow demon i seem to be. the throat is gettin' dusty

before it's gone that i had thrifty hands. well

i've been up for heart breakin'

and i had to keep my men to pay. i had to catch a plane this morning

with them bells ringing in my head. sometimes i work so hard

i'm gonna

gonna play my fingers to the bone
