(Mose Allison)

I'm thinkin' 'bout a place

I'm waitin' for the day

When I will make my get away

Because as any fool can see

There's nothin' here for me but

Hurry up boy bring that water

Don't do things you shouldn't oughta



But when I go away and find my easy street

I'll have a smile for all I meet

And they will welcome me I know

Everywhere I go

No more thinkin' that I've missed it How can anyone resist it

And there's a chance

That I will find my big romance

When I get to my city home



But when I go away

And find my easy street

I'll have a smile for all I meet

And they will welcome me I know

Everywhere I go

I'll see the town in all its glitter

How could anyone be bitter

And there's a chance

That I will find my big romance

When I get to my city home
