Verse 1
My brother Jimmy, my other brother Jack
They went off down to Houston and never come back
Mama wasn't going to let her baby go yet
but there ain't nobody hiring back in Lafayette
Verse 2
Working all week for the Texico check
Sun beating down on the back of my neck
Tried to save my money but Jimmy says no
Says he's got a little honey on telephone road
Chorus
Come on come on come on lets go
This ain't Louisiana, your mama won't know
Come on come on come on lets go
Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road
Interlude
F Am Gm F C F x2
Verse 3
Telephone Road is ten miles long
Fifty car lots and a hundred Honky Tonks
Jukebox is blasting and the beer bottles ring
Jimmy banging on the pinball machine
Chorus
Come on come on come on lets go
This ain't Louisiana, your mama won't know
Come on come on come on lets go
Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road
Solo
F Am Gm F C F x2
Bb Am Gm F C F x2
Verse 4
Mama never told me about nothing like this
I guess Houston's about as big as the city can get
Sometimes I get lonesome for Lafayette
Some day I'm going home, but I ain't ready yet
Chorus
Come on come on come on lets go
This ain't Louisiana, your mama won't know
Come on come on come on lets go
Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road
Come on come on come on lets go
This ain't Louisiana, your mama won't know
Come on come on come on lets go
Everybody's rocking out on Telephone Road
