Think ahead before you open your mouth
I might be thinking it through
Gonna pack my things and catch a train headed South
Or step right out of my car, into the
Rain drippin' down my fingers,
Into my eyes, you won't see me cryin' but,
What will you do when I am gone

I creep slowly out of my bed,
Take one final look at you
To empty out all those sweet memories from my head
How did I ever end up playing your fool but,
What will you do when I am gone

I creep slowly out of my bed,
Take one final look at you
To empty out all those sweet memories from my head
How did I ever end up playing your fool but
I'm on a train bound for glory,
Goin' klickity klack klickity klack
Away from you but
What will you do, when I am gone?

How the hell you ever get to be so damn cool?
Suck down my money and throw my love away
How the hell did you ever get to be so damn slick?
You'll come slidin' slidin' down some day but,
I'm on a train bound for glory
Goin' klickity klack klickity klack
Away from you but,
What will you do when I am gone?
