Status Quo - Backwater - GTP табы

( Parfitt / Lancaster )


Down at Backwater junction

Rolling down the line

In the dark early morning

I heard the one-forty-nine

I was walking down the highway

Needed somewhere to go

A lady laid beside me 

And she invited me home

She led me cold, tired and hungry

Down the backwater road


In a house on the corner

looking over the track

I woke up with a fever

And a pain in my back

She was lying there beside me

My fever started to grow

Had a funny feeling

But the lady said no

The lover needs a doctor

Down the Backwater Road


Whatcha' lookin' for

Whatcha' lookin' for

Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for

Was I wrong to play along

Lady was I right or lady was I wrong


Backwater doctor

You've got me breathing in time

It's ten-thirty in the morning

And I'm feeling alright

I went back to my lady

But I wasn't to know

Lady left this morning

And she's not coming home

I was cold when she left me

Down the Backwater Road
