Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith, Arkansas
D
All the way to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras
Em G D
You should have seen... the craziness down there
Em G D
What I really mean... I wish you were here
Played a show on Bourbon Street, Memphis, Tennessee
With the blues, the booze, the bar-B-Q's, our name on the marquee
Yeah you should have seen... the crowd we drew in there
What I really mean... I wish you were here
(Chorus)
Em
I'm sending you this postcard
G
To tell you that I'm fine
Em
No matter where I go
G A
You never leave my mind
Well we broke down in Kentucky; in Richmond there was snow
We saw our friends in Charlotte; we played on the radio
And you should have seen... us singin' on the air
What I really mean... I wish you were here
(Instrumental)
Well I'm sending you this postcard
To tell you that I'm fine
And let you know wherever I go
You never leave my mind
Tonight we're in the city, it's just like Disneyland
But I'm tired and I can't wait to get back home again
Because I had a dream That you d be waitin there
What I really mean... I wish you were here
What I really mean... I wish you were here
