Yesterday and You

>
Well I damn near froze in (?) Kansas
Standin’ by the roadside
Long enough to hitch a ride
Farmers’ coming up with load full o’ chickens
And the (fans) say jump inside
Lord God I nearly cried

Well by sundown
I was hummin’ through the rain
On the outskirts of town
Before I caught a freight train
Goin’ my way
Hey hey hey, ya’ll

But at least I was a hundred miles
Closer to LA
I guess I was a hundred miles
Further away from
Yesterday and you, child

Yesterday and you
Na nana nah nana na na
Hey, hey
Na nana nah nana na na
Hey, hey

Two days later I was stranded in the desеrt
With the sand burin’ through my shoes
A two day problem bluеs
Hundred miles from nowhere city
Feelin’ like bad news
Feelin’ like I paid my dues

With a frame full of pain
And a face full of sand I prayed for rain
Huh! Kicked a tin can down the highway
Hey hey hey, ya’ll

But at least I was a hundred miles
Closer to LA
I guess I was a hundred miles
Further away from
Yesterday and you, child

Yesterday and you
Na nana nah nana na na
Hey, hey
Na nana nah nana na na
Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey Yesterday and you
(Hey, hey, hey Yesterday and you)

Yesterday, yesterday and you…
