Intro: A (x2) Verse 1: Lookin' out my window, lookin' down the road I would like to go far away, away from this place I wanna see the world before I die Before too many years go by I've got to go, before I get too old, so Chorus: I'm going away and I'm leaving today And I won't be back for while I'm gettin' on a train, a bus, or a plane I'm gonna leave this place in style But before I go I just want you to know That although it hasn't been very long We'll meet again together my friend And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song Yeah we'll laugh and we'll sing this song Verse 2: Friends will leave you, and they will say farewell And you can never tell just why they go, you don't know, you don't know I want life's music to softly hit my ears You know I've been waiting for years To take the chance and to dance with the wind, so CHORUS Bridge: Cause I can't be tied down, sittin' in a one horse town I've got to know who I am I pray for you all the time you'll always be on my mind And I hope you'll understand CHORUS
