Leave My Troubles Behind was a fun song to write. I think I was channeling Cajun while composing this song.
E
On the road Leave My Troubles Behind
A
On the road leave my troubles behind
E
On the road leave my troubles behind
B7. E
Throw my case in the backseat and taking my time
A
Drove to the grocer and I bought me a lime
E
Stopped by the Thrifty got tequila so fine
B7
Picked up my Gal knew she wouldn’t decline
A. B7. E
We are leaving this town and we’re taking our time
Passed by the bayou they were drinking moonshine
Pirogue in pickup they were standing behind
Catching catfish for later to dine
We shared our tequila and we’re takin our time
Drove all night till we passed the state line
Found a motel flashing vacancy sign
Makin love til morning you know it was fine
We were spoonin and groovin and takin our time
