Lookin' out my window   Lookin' down the road   I would like to go far away   Away from this place      I wanna see the world before I die   Before too many years go by    I've got to go   Before I get too old      CHORUS   So I'm going away    And I'm leaving today   And I won't be back for while   I'm gettin' on a train, a bus, or a plane   I'm gonna leave this place in style   But before I go I just want you to know   That although it hasn't been very long   We'll meet again together my friend    And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song   Yeah we'll laugh and we'll sing this song      Friends will leave you   And they will say farewell   And you can never tell just why they go    You don' t know, you don't know      I want life's music to softly hit my ears   You know I've been waiting for years    To take the chance and to dance with the wind      CHORUS   So I'm going away    And I'm leaving today   And I won't be back for while   I'm gettin' on a train, a bus or a plane   I'm gonna leave this place in style   But before I go I just want you to know   That although it hasn't been very long   We'll meet again together my friend    And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song   Yeah we'll laugh and we'll sing this song      Cause I can't be tied down   Sittin' in a one horse town   I've got to know who I am   I pray for you all the time   You'll always be on my mind   And I hope you'll understand      CHORUS   That I'm going away    And I'm leaving today   And I won't be back for while   I'm gettin' on a train, a bus or a plane   I'm gonna leave this place in style   But before I go I just want you to know   That although it hasn't been very long   We'll meet again together my friend    And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song   Yeah we'll meet again together my friend    and we'll laugh and we'll sing this song      dee dee dee da da...
