Getting Gone

When the work died down, she said come up north with me

When the work died down, she said come up north with me

That little city’s pretty hip

And the living’s almost free

We kept what we wanted, And we gave the rest away

We kept what we wanted, And we gave the rest away

Left my chicken with the neighbors,

Hit the road the very next day

I’m getting gone

And I won’t be long

I’m getting gone

Got to break away

I’m gonna get gone

But I’ll be back someday

When we got to the border, The guard said stop ahead

When we got to the border , The guard said stop ahead

We pulled in the corner

And I wished that I was dead

I’m getting gone

And I won’t be long

I’m getting gone

Got to break away

I’m gonna get gone

But I’ll be back someday
