Paid My Dues

I'm going down to Georgia, the place my folks call home
Then onto Carolina, the place where I was born
Good morning Music City, I've got a song for you
Good God Almighty Lord I've paid my dues

Good God I've paid my dues from Mississippi onto Alabama
From Louisiana onto Texarkana
I'm getting a little too good, Lord, at singing these old blues
Good God Almighty Lord I've paid my dues

That Motel 6 in Austin has really gone downhill
But not as bad as my back seat, where I stayed in Amarillo
Not much further to California, just a couple one night stands
Till I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms again

Good God I've paid my dues from Albuquerque onto Arizona
From Boulder City up to Idaho
I'm getting a little too good, Lord, at singing these old blues
Good God Almighty Lord I've paid my dues

Good God I've paid my dues from Ensenada up to Washington
Hell, I ain't saying I ain't had some fun
But I'm getting a little too good, Lord, at singing these old blues
Good God Almighty Lord I've paid my dues
