VERSE
You know that CI get Gtold E/G#so    A7many times
D7Boy you gotta grow you some FmrootsG  
The Cwondering Gdues E/G#sound oh so A7good in a tune
But you D7need some place to wipe all off thaG7t mud off your boots
CHORUS
FmC'mon and grab your Chat

CPack up your Gdacks, your E/G#hat
You're A7leaving today
We're D7checking out to G7check out what's up a CwaysG7  
(REPEAT VERSE CHORDS)
Well you look past me with them sleepy eyes
‘Hey girl I gotta leave before the sun catches me’
As if your wondering ways don't suit me spending my days
I'm thanking god you aint around while I'm painting my nails
(REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS)
Come lay down your hat
Your suitcase and your stash
Just make damn sure you aint around
When those milk bottles hit the ground
Go on and get lost there up a ways
(REPEAT VERSE CHORDS OVER LYRICS)
Well she sure was pretty and she sure did kiss good
I almost saw her face cellotaped to my suitcase
I'm car sick I'm punch drunk and I don't like to fly
But there's always something far off that catches my eye
(REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS)
And its an age old tune
I only know where I am when I move
So pack up your smalls
Your Pall Malls, your ash tray
We're checking out to check out what's up a ways
(SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS)
(ANOTHER BLEEDIN' VERSE!)
Oh don't make me no coffee don't you butter my toast
I'll send you a polaroid by overnight post
Well blow me away if thats the best you can do
Just sweep off that dirt that fell off your boots
(CHORUS AGAIN!)
And its an age old tune
You only know where ya are when you move
But boy this aint no relationship
So spare me all that gracious shit
Go on get lost on up a CwaysA7  
Oh just D7pack on up and G7head off up a waysC  A7  
Oh just D7pack on up and FmI'm heading off uC7p a ways
