Lyrics Trouble on the Turnpike - Roger Miller, Gordon Terry

Trouble on the Turnpike

Well it wasn’t long ago that my true blue Sally
Said she’s gettin' tired of livin' in the valley
Went to go back to Louisian' see Big Papa he’s a gumbo man
Trouble on the turnpike trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike too big a load
Yeah ha-hoopa-do-ee goodbye valley for my Sally and me
Well to keep Sally happy I’ll do what I can
To keep her that way takes a whole lot of man
A Louisiana woman is tired of California ain’t enough gumbo here for me
Trouble on the turnpike…
