[F] [C] M[A#]y brother J[A]immy, my [G]other brother [F]Jack.[F][C][F]
T[A#]hey went d[A]own to Houston an[G]d they neve[F]r came [F]bac[C]k.[F]
M[A#]ama wasn't g[A]oing to let her b[G]aby go y[F]et,[F][C][F]
b[A#]ut there ain't nobody hi[A]ring back in [G]Lafaye[F]tte.[F][C][F]
Working all week for the Texico check.
Sun beating down on the back of my neck.
Tried to save my money but Jimmy says no.
Says he's got a little honey on telephone road.
Chorus:
[A#]Come on [A]come on c[G]ome on lets[F] go.
Th[F]is ain't Louisiana, your m[C]ama won't k[F]now.
[A#]Come[A] on [G]come on [F]come on lets go.
Ev[F]erybody's ro[C]cking out on Te[F]lephone Road.
Telephone Road is ten miles long.
Fifty car lots and a hundred Honky Tonks.
Juke box is blasting and the beer bottles ring.
Jimmy banging on the pinball machine.
Chorus
Mama never told me about nothing like this.
I guess Houston's about as big as the city can get.
Sometimes I get lonesome for Lafayette.
Some day I'm going home, but I ain't ready yet.
Chorus 2X
end with intro riff.
