歌曲歌詞
My daddy was an honest man
Just a redneck Georgia farm boy
My momma spent her short life
Raisin' kids and bailin' hay
And I was just fifteen when
I ached inside to wonder
So I hoped a freight in
Waycross and I rode it to L A
Well I met a girl known on the strip as
San Francisco's Maybel Joy
Destitutions child born on a L A
Street called Shane
And sleep came and left this little
Waycross Georgia country boy
Maybel Joy was gone Lord
I'd never see her again
Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Maybel Joy
Laughter found our morning's
Brought new meaning to my life
I woke up one day
Lord to find that I was by myself
With dreams of
Georgia cotton and California wine
Sunday mornin' found me standin'
'Neath the red-light of her door
Right 'cross sent me reelin'
Laid me face down on the floor
In place of Maybel Joy
I found a merchant mad marine
Who said “Your Georgia neck is
Red but son you're still green”
Well I turned twenty
One in gray rock federal prison
The judge he had no mercy on this
Waycross Georgia boy
Sometimes at night in silence
Lord I'd listen
That same old freight to
Take me back to Maybel Joy
Cold nights had no pity on this
Waycross Georgia farm boy
Springtime turned to summer
And then the winter came
Starin' at those four gray
Walls in silence Lord I'd listen
Somewhere in the distance to
The whistle of the train
Sunday morning found me lying
'Neath the red light of her door
With a bullet in my side I cried
"Have you seen Maybel Joy "
Stunned and shaken someone said
"Son she don't live here no more"
She left this town ten years ago
I heard she's looking for
Some Georgia farm boy”
