I’m packing up, I’ve gotta move

I’m gon' blow a fifty-foot hole
             G                 Am
Through the dark clouds in my room
              C
I’m making a change

I'm gonna start today

And I’m gon' run so far they’ll never find me again

'Less I’m leavin’ here with you

She whispers sweet, "there's a light and glory"
               F                      C

That wanna bring you to your knees

And when I was a child, a dream came to me
