Back To Wentzville

Lyrics

I'm goin' back to Wentzville
 Have myself a really good time
 Back to Wentzville
 Leave these Memphis blues behind
 Do you remember Marie?
 Or sweet Betty Jean?
 They used to call me long distance from New Orleans
 I'd ride'em around in my Cadillac car
 They were sweet rock 'n' rollers, I was their star
 Cruisin Highway Z in my coupe de ville
 Until the wee wee hours outside of Wentzville
 Back to Wentzville, I'll take any airline
 Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind
 Every Saturday night I had a little rendez-vous
 Beautiful Delilah I'm a talkin' bout you
 You pulled the strings to my driftin' heart
 Together we always will be from the start
 She's only 16 but oh what a thrill
 I can hardly wait to get back to Wentzville
 Back to Wentzville, long distance get me there on time
 Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind
 Alright
 Well the good times in St. Louie
 I can still recall
 Yeah, the show-me state
 Sure is great
 But one of those girls is Baby Doll
 Woo, back to Wentzville, I'll take any airline
 Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind
 I took the downbound train for ole Mexico
 I ran into Lawanda at a rock n roll show
 We danced right around til our feet got sore
 Split for Californey in my Mustang Ford
 She's in the promised land where she waits for me still
 Cause the law wouldn't let me bring her back to Wentzville
 Back to Wentzville long distance get me there on time
 Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind
 Back to Wentzville long distance get me there on time
 Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind
