(Verse I)
GSeen the false horizon fade away like bisons
C9Headed for the jungle, the Gcowboy can't endure
DNever look back, that's what he swore
I'll Gtake my pony Emto the shore
C9somewhere, Dsomewhere
(Chorus)
Take Ganother road to a Dhiding place
EmDisappear withC9out a trace
GTake another Droad in another C9time
On Ganother road in Danother time
Like a Emnovel from the C9five and dime
GTake another Droad in another C9time
(Verse II)
GFollow the equator, like that old articulator
C9Sail upon the ocean, Gjust like Mr. Twain
DNever look back, this is my plan
GRun my pony Emin the sand
C9Somewhere, Dsomewhere
(Chorus)
Take Ganother road to a Dhiding place
EmDisappear withC9out a trace
GTake another Droad in another C9time
On Ganother road in Danother time
Like a Emnovel from the C9five and dime
GTake another Droad in another C9time
(Bridge)
C9Leave my cares behind
C9Take my own sweet time
C9Ocean's on my Dmind
(Chorus)
Take Ganother road to a Dhiding place
EmDisappear withC9out a trace
GTake another Droad in another C9time
On Ganother road in Danother time
Like a Emnovel from the C9five and dime
GTake another Droad in another C9time
