What I Really Mean

What I Really Mean 
Robert Earl Keen 
You can also play no capo in the Key of E (E for D, F#m for Em, A for G) 
Capo 2 
D 
Drove from Albuquerque to Ft. Smith Arkansas 
D      
All the way to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras 
    Em                                  D 
You should have seen the craziness down there 
       Em          G                D 
What I really mean, I wish you were here 

We were down on Beale Street in Memphis, TN 
With the blues, the booze and barbecues, our name on the marquee 
And you should have seen the crowd we drew in there 
What I really mean, I wish you were here 

Bridge: 
    Em                           G 
I’m sending you this postcard to tell you that I’m fine 
   Em                           G              A   
To let you know where I go, you never leave my mind 

We broke down in Kentucky, in Richmond there was snow 
Saw our friends in Charlotte, we played on the radio 
And you should have seen us singin’ on the air 
What I really mean, I wish you were here

Tonight we’re in the city, it’s like Disneyland 
But I’m sick and tired and I can’t wait to get back home again 
And I had this dream you'll be waitin’ there 
What I really mean, I wish you were here
