How can I get from here to where you are tomorrow
How can I see you there if I'm still here in Chicago
What's a poor boy, such a lonely boy, what's a poor boy to do
Sittin' in a hotel all confused, there's no telling what to do

I gotta get right back to you
You know I've been so alone
But I'm comin' home and I ain't leavin' again
I'm gonna get right back to you
That's what this poor boy should do

Going round and round, I'm down in downtown nowhere
No planes, no trains, it's plain small change, ain't carfare
Sittin' on the highway it's pouring rain, there isn't a dry way to go
Started in the sun but it parted on the run, I half expect it to snow

I gotta get right back to you
You know I've been so alone
But I'm comin' home and I ain't leavin' again
I'm gonna get right back to you
That's what this lonely boy's gonna do

How can I get from here to where you are tomorrow
How can I see you there if I'm still here in Chicago
What's a poor boy, such a lonely boy, what's a poor boy to do
Sittin' in a hotel all confused, there's no telling what to do

I gotta get right back to you
You know I've been so alone
But I'm comin' home and I ain't leavin' again
I'm gonna get right back to you
That's what this poor boy's gonna do ...
