[Verse 1]
I cried last night, cried the night before
I cried last night, cried the night before
I wanna change the way I live so I won’t have to cry no more
[Verse 2]
Well I’ve been your dog ever since I’ve been your man
I’ve been your dog ever since I’ve been your man
Ah you’ve been using me, use me on a five day plan
[Verse 3]
You know I love you purty baby; how come you treat me so bad?
You know I love you purty baby; what makes you treat me so bad?
Now I told you, I love your lovin’ and I’m mad
[Verse 4]
You upset me baby when you give my love away
You upset me baby when you give my love away
I told you time after time, day after day
You know I told ya!
[Sax solo]
Blow it away, boy, blow it away!
[Verse 5]
I got my boots on buddy, laced up to the top
I got my boots on buddy ’n’ they laced up to the top
I’m gonna leave you purty baby and you don’t try to stop me, honey chile
[Verse 6]
I’m gonna buy me a ticket, long as I am tall
Gonna buy me a ticket, long as I am tall
I’m gonna leave you baby, on the Midnight Cannonball
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
