about

I wrote this one back in the late '70s, and still feel it like it was yesterday. Especially the acid flashback solo section.

lyrics

Missin’ The Flu (J.A. Mills - SOCAN)

1st Verse
I rolled into town late last night, and got busted by the heat
I got a $50 fine for the bottle of wine, you left tucked under my back seat
When I got home I saw that you were gone, and so was my money and luck
You took the rod and reel I had stashed in the back of my Chevy pick up truck
It was right about then that I wanted to cry, but it wasn’t tears for you,
I got soap in my eyes while washin’ my hair ‘cause you took all the damn shampoo
Do you miss havin’ the flu, honey that’s how I’m missin’ you
And if your phone ain’t ringin’ that’s fine, that’ll be me, on the end of your line

Well I heard from a friend of a friend of mine that ya’ll went back to T.O.
I had a good laugh at the thought of that, ‘cause that’s one place you hate to go
I ain’t mad ‘cause you up and left, I really didn’t want you to stay
Swappin’ that rod and reel for some peace and quiet,
was the best deal I made all day
Do you miss havin’ the flu, honey that’s how I’m missin’ you
And if your phone ain’t ringin’ that’s fine, that’ll be me, on the end of your line
Yea honey if your phone ain’t ringin’, that’ll be me callin’

Solo

Tag out
Do you miss havin’ the flu, honey that’s how I’m missin’ you
And if your phone ain’t ringin’ that’s fine, that’ll be me, on the end of your line
