I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane

I gotta jump a ride on a cattle-trucking slow train

I guess it doesn't matter

As long as I can get my head down in the sun



I wrote a rockin' song, gonna sing it at the station

I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination

I guess it doesn't matter

As long as I can get my head down in the sun



Hey mama, please now don't you fret none

Don't worry, but please don't you forget

Hey mama, please don't get upset none

I gotta leave to find me something better



Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now

Believe me, no need for you to write

Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now

I gotta friend who said that she'd invite me



I came here in the morning and I crept out in the middle of night

I gave nobody warning I was leaving and I felt it was right

Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right



Got a feeling that I'm leaving with a ticket and I won't jump a ride

It's no good you believing that my leaving was a wrong, it was right

Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right
