My baby woke me up this morning, she told me she's Joliet bound My baby woke me up this morning, she told me she's Joliet bound She want to find four‑a highway, that's the main highway out of town She wouldn't even talk with me, wouldn't even have a word to say She wouldn't even talk with me, wouldn't even have a word to say She asking all her friends around now, where she find number four‑a highway Number four‑a highway, that's the main highway out of town Number four‑a highway, that's the main highway out of town And she leave out on that highway, I'm sure going to trail my baby down I feel like taking my suitcase, setting down on the side of that lonesome highway I feel like taking my suitcase, setting down on the side of that lonesome highway If she leave there between nine and midnight, I'll overtake her just before day If I had my machine, I wouldn't worry about leaving town If I had my machine, I wouldn't worry about leaving town I'd get on that four‑a highway, and god knows I'd roll that highway down
