about

A song about leaving.
Leaving for good.
When you just can't stay any longer.
And knowing the heartache you're leaving behind.

lyrics

Rails stretching out across this earth
Wonders of nature transected by wonders of man
More than a hundred ways to go
And every one of them is just another way back home
I’m so sick of burying friends
Funeral pyre frequent flyer
Seems like it never ends
‘Cause it’s a wedding then a requiem
A birth and then a wake
And honey, I don’t know just how much more of this I can take

‘Cause there’s no fun in getting old
(there’s no fun in getting old)
There’s no sense in growing up
(there’s no sense in growing up)
You gotta make your own way, girl
‘Cause there’s no prize for showing up

Come the morning, I’ll be leaving
Through the fog on a train
First train to anything but here
‘Cause I ain’t the first soul
To hop that old transcontinental
Let me make this one thing clear:
Where I gotta go
Honey, you can’t follow me

You can keep on breaking my skin
There may come a time that it won’t grow back again
And pretty soon your memories will be all that’s left of me
‘Cause I feel no more at home than the first day I got free

‘Cause there’s no fun in getting old
(there’s no fun in getting old)
Don’t get lost in growing up
(don’t get lost in growing up)
You gotta make your own way, girl
‘Cause there’s no prize for showing up

Come the morning, I’ll be leaving
Through the fog on a train
First train to anything but here
‘Cause I ain’t the first soul
To hop that old transcontinental
Let me make this one thing clear:
Where I gotta go
Honey, that’s just where I’ll be

Come the morning, I’ll be leaving
Through the fog on a train
First train to anything but here
‘Cause I ain’t the first soul
To hop that old transcontinental

Man, I’m out of here
