What I Really Mean

D
Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith 
Arkansas
D
All the way to New Orleans in time 
for Mardi Gras
    Em                             
You should have seen, the craziness
      D
 down there
       Em           G             
What I really mean, I wish you 
  D
were here

D
We were down on Beale Street, 
Memphis Tennessee
D
With the blues, the booze and 
barbeques and our name on the 
marquee
        Em                         
And you should have seen, the crowd
            D
 we drew in there
       Em           G             
What I really mean, I wish you 
  D
were here

    Em                          
I’m sending you this postcard to 
 G
tell you that I’m fine
   Em                          
To let you know where I go, you 
 G              A
never leave my mind


D
We broke down in Kentucky, in 
Richmond there was snow
D
Saw our friends in Charlotte, we 
played on the radio
        Em                         
And you should have seen us singin’
        D
 on the air
       Em           G             
What I really mean, I wish you 
  D
were here

D
Tonight we’re in the city, it’s like
 Disneyland
D
But I’m sick and tired and I can’t 
wait to get back home again
      Em                       
And I had this dream, you'll be 
         D
waitin’ there
       Em           G             
What I really mean, I wish you
