C F
left my home in Norfolk, Virginia, California on my mind
G C
i stradled that grey hound and rode him into Raleigh and on across Caroline
F
we stopped at Charlotte we bypassed rock hill we never was a minute late
G C
we was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown, rollin out of Georgia state
F
we had motor trouble that turned into a struggle half way across alabam
G C
and that hound broke down and left us all stranded in down town Birmingham
