[D]Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith Arkansas
[D]All the way to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras
You [Em]should have seen, the craziness down [D]there
What I [Em]really mean, [G]I wish you were [D]here
[D]We were down on Beale Street, Memphis Tennessee
[D]With the blues, the booze and barbeques and our name on the marquee
And you [Em]should have seen, the crowd we drew in [D]there
What I [Em]really mean, [G]I wish you were [D]here

I’m [Em]sending you this postcard to [G]tell you that I’m fine
To [Em]let you know where I go, you [G]never leave my [A]mind
[D]We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow
[D]Saw our friends in Charlotte, we played on the radio
And you [Em]should have seen us singin’ on the [D]air

I’m [Em]sending you this postcard to [G]tell you that I’m fine
To [Em]let you know where I go, you [G]never leave my [A]mind
[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
And I [Em]had this dream, you'll be waitin’ [D]there
What I [Em]really mean, [G]I wish you were [D]here
What I [Em]really mean, [G]I wish you were [D]here
