I got paid then I was on the road in a heartbeat, Mama said, mama said, ‘You got a one track mind, But you ain't gonna get it all the time.' She wasn't lyin'.
[Chorus:] I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo Just to get away from you. I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong, But, baby, all the good women are gone.
My last dime got used up on gasoline, What I mean, what I mean, Atlanta, GA. By the end of the day, I'm well away, that's what I say.
[Chorus:] I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo Just to get away from you. I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong, But, baby, all the good women are gone.
And everything I had to say, ‘Wish we'd gone so far away.' Well now I can't stay.
Blacktop, I can't stop for no one, It's no fun, no fun, With a one track mind If you don't get lucky some time. But still I'm tryin'.
[Chorus: 2x] I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo Just to get away from you. I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong, But, baby, all the good women are gone.
