[Intro]~
D G D G
[Verse 1]~
G D
I was just leaving!
G
I was just up and walking,..
D
When someone said something!
G
It was likely my name!
D
But I didn’t turn then!
G
I just kept on walking!
D
Got to my car and,..
G
I am presently driving!
[Chorus]~
Bm D
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
Bm
With something I owe you!
D
I think you already know that!
Bm
I know I’ll regret it!
D
Not living with you!
Bm D
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city!
D D/C# G7/B
She says no,.. no,.. no!
[Verse 2]~
D
There’s this cop in London
G
He’s got it in for me!
D
I known him since high school!
G
He still thinks we’re nineteen!
D
I can’t live nowhere,..
G
Where you could run into me!
D
‘Cause I think it’s likely
G
That you’ll make some big scene!

Stopped at this truck stop
G
Right outside Woodstock,..
D
I was gonna get something,..

I just kept going!
