Texty: Bonnie Raitt. Papa Come Quick (Jody And Chico).

Papa come quick, Jody's gone to the city

What we gonna do now that Jody's gone

She left a note on the TV and Papa it's a pity

What we gonna do now that Jody's gone.


Mama's been cryin in the kitchen since mornin

She cried right through As The World Turns

I seen it myself and papa it's a bitch'n

Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned.


Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map

They got a head start about half a day

Load up the shotgun, put it in the gunrack

Jody's with Chico down in East L.A.


It must have been that wild-eyed, silver-toungued schemer

A girl like Jody don't think for herself.


Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena

Smokin that stuff'll make you hurt yourself.


Papa come quick

Papa come quick

Papa come quick

Papa come on


First verse


Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map

They got a head start about half a day

Stop at the Mobil, pump up the the flat wheel

Jody & Chico and his ding dang deal.


Second verse
