I'm up and I'm Leaving |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gonna spread my wings |
Gonna get out the country to do big things |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gettin' out of this place |
Gonna get on the Green Line to join the rat race |
And if you see my ma or pa |
Tell them that I ain’t going far |
I’m going to the great big city |
I’m gonna buy what they call a car |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gonna spread my wings |
Gonna get out the country and do big things |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gettin' out of this place |
Gonna get on the Green Line to join the rat race |
Gonna leave the fields and the crops behind |
I’m gonna see what life’s about |
I know I’ve been saying it for the past six years |
But now I’m getting out |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gonna spread my wings |
Gonna get out the country and do big things |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gettin' out of this place |
Gonna get on the Green Line to join the rat race |
And if you see my friend |
The one without a name |
Say to him that I’m gonna go |
But I ain’t coming back again |
Now listen Luke to what I say |
If that Green Line comes around here |
Tell all my friends when they come to the city |
I’ll buy them all a beer |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gettin' out of this place |
Gonna get on the Green Line to join the rat race |
I’m up and I’m leaving |
Gonna spread my wings |
Gonna get out the country and do big things |
