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
|
