Ive thought about it for a while
and Ive thought about the many miles
but I think its time that Ive gone away
the feelings that you have for me
have gone away its plain to see
and it looks to me that your pulling away

Im gonna pick it up
Im gonna pick it up today
Im bound pack it up
Im bound pack it up and go away

Ive found it hard to say to you
that this is what I have to do
but there is no way that Im gonna stay
there are so many things you need to know
and I wanna tell you before I go
but its hard to think of just what to say

Im gonna pick it up
Im gonna pick it up today
Im bound pack it up
Im bound pack it up and go away

Im sorry to leave you all alone
youre sitting silent by the phone
but wed always known there would come a day
the bus is warm and softly lit
and a hundred people ride in it
I guess Im just another runaway

Im gonna pick it up
Im gonna pick it up today
Im bound pack it up
Im bound pack it up and go away
