[Verse 1]
I'm going back to Tampa, to that girl I left behind
I'm going back to Tampa, to that girl I left behind
I'm going back to Tampa, just to kill my worried mind

[Verse 2]
Did you ever lie down at night, thinking about your brown
Did you ever lie down at night, thinking about your brown
You commence rolling and tumbling, I guess I'm Tampa bound

[Verse 3]
The bridge washed out, the wire's all down
My gal is in the flood and I'm Tampa bound
[Verse 4]
I got up this morning, put on my walking shoes
I got up this morning, put on my walking shoes
I'm going back to Tampa, just to kill my lowdown blues
