Lyrics

Well, this whole world's topsy turvy
It's sort of feeling like it's upside down
Yes, and every day it's a push and shove
Of people trying to get around
You have been working hard
Trying to make some bread
Trying to get it before it gets away
Yeah, but it's just too bad
How a man's got to get along
With the bills he know he needs to pay
Yeah, the city is a place in which to build dreams
Yeah, a place that gives your ideas flight
Yeah, but a man gets to longing for some country green
And he just wants some peace and quiet
Peace and quiet, peace and quiet, peace and quiet
Yeah, yeah, but I'd be up and leaving this town
I said, "He's heading down that open road"
All that you own, got it thrown
Across the back seat
Thinking which way to go
Maybe New Orleans, yeah, maybe Mexico
You've got to get out of here
You've got to get it on down the road
If only you could pack up everything you love, girl
You'll never want to never bring your friends
Or just to keep them with you
Them things that make you strong
You've got to carry them when you run a bend
Yeah, the fear of moving means
That you can keep you in line
Yeah, before you know something stays behind
Just separate the good and bad
And take along a kind new place
You've got to be there right on time
Woo, alright
Yeah, but I'd be up and leaving this town
I said, "He's heading down that open road"
All that you own, got it thrown
Across the back seat
Thinking which way to go
Maybe New Orleans, yeah, maybe Mexico
Yeah, you've got to get out of here
You've got to get it on down the road
Go on down to Austin
On down to Houston
On up to Denver
Up to New York City
Got some friends of mine there I think are great
New Orleans, yeah, maybe Mexico
You've got to get out of here
You've got to get it on down the road
Get on out of here, boy
Alright now, keep going, woo
