Packing my bags, I’m leaving town
Ain’t nothing for me, ain’t nothing around
I’ve had my fun, my tab’s been paid
I’ve settled my score, they’re out the way
So I’ll be heading off, no need to wait.
The road is lonely when it is long
But I’m back on the tracks again where I belong
Don’t be sad to see me go, for this is not the end
I promise I’ll visit you my friend
But I’m a county boy on the highway again
Dreams don’t die, they disappear
And my dreams are disappearing fast round here
I’m looking for luck in other lands
I’ll roll the dice, I’ll take my chance
I’ll put my life into my own hands
The road is lonely when it is long
But I’m back on the tracks again where I belong
Don’t be sad to see me go, for this is not the end
I promise I’ll visit you my friend
But I’m a county boy on the highway again
