[Verse 1]
F Am Gm F C F
My brother Jimmy, my other brother Jack
F Am Gm F C F
They went off down to Houston and never come back
F Am Gm F C F
Mama wasn't going to let her baby go yet
F Am G F C F
but there ain't nobody hiring back in Lafayette
[Verse 2]
F Am Gm F C F
Working all week for the Texico check
F Am Gm F C F
Sun beating down on the back of my neck
F Am Gm F C F
Tried to save my money but Jimmy says no
F Am Gm F C F
Says he's got a little honey on telephone road
[Chorus]
Bb Am Gm F
Come on come on come on lets go
F C F
This ain't Louisiana, your mama won't know
Bb Am Gm F
Come on come on come on lets go

Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road

Telephone Road is ten miles long
F Am Gm F C F
Fifty car lots and a hundred Honky Tonks
F Am Gm F C F
Jukebox is blasting and the beer bottles ring
F Am Gm F C F
Jimmy banging on the pinball machine
[Chorus]

F Am Gm F C F
Mama never told me about nothing like this

I guess Houston's about as big as the city can get
F Am Gm F C F
Sometimes I get lonesome for Lafayette

Some day I'm going home, but I ain't ready yet

Come on come on come on lets go

Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road
