I left my home in Norfolk Virginia (´ー`)
California on my mind ヽ(´∇`)ノ
I straddled that Greyhound And rode into Raleigh ( ´ω`)
And on across Caroline (・∀・)

We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle (;´Д`)
Halfway across Alabam' (;´Д`)
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded （ ’～’）
In downtown Birmingham （ ’～’）
