Chorus (Same chords as Verse 2 except at end)
Don't you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too?

Road Ladies do to you.

Verse 3 (conventional 12 Bar Blues – same chords) Vocal Howard (flambé)

I know someday I will never, I'll never go out on the road again.
I know someday I will never, I ain't gonna roam the country side. No more.
I'm gonna hang up little holidays yeah
and heal my knees up, from when I was doing on the floor.
See me doing it! see me doing on the floor.

Chorus
Don't you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too?
Don't you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too?
Don't you better get a shot from the doctor for what the

Road Ladies do to you.
