Eric Clapton If I Don't Be There By Morning Lyrics

Blue sky upon the horizon,
Private eye is on my trail,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.

I've been running from Memphis to L. A.
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have gone the other way.

  Finding my way back to you girl,
  Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
  Sometimes I think of you girl,
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/eric-clapton-lyrics/if-i-don_t-be-there-by-morning-lyrics.html]
  Is it true that you think of me too?

I got a woman living in L. A.
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
And if I don't be there by morning,
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray.

  Chorus

I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
I left her waiting, I hope she's waiting for me still.
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.
