I've thought about it for a while

and I've thought about the many miles

but I think it's time that I've gone away



The feelings that you have for me

have gone away it's plain to see

and it looks to me 

that you're pulling away



(Chorus)

I'm gonna pick it up

I'm gonna pick it up today

I'm bound to pack it up

I'm bound to pack it up

and go away



I found it hard to say to you

that this is what I have to do

but there is no way that I'm gonna stay



there are so many things

you need to know

and I wanna tell you before I go

but it's hard to think of just what to say



I'm gonna pick it up

I'm gonna pick it up today

I'm bound to pack it up

I'm bound to pack it up

and go away



I'm sorry to leave you all alone

you're sitting silent by the phone

but we've always known there would come a day



The bus is warm and softly lit

and a hundred people are ridin' it

I guess I'm just another running away



I'm gonna pick it up

I'm gonna pick it up today

I'm bound to pack it up

I'm bound to pack it up

and go away



Oh yeah, yeah
