I've thought about it for a while

and I've thought about the many miles

but I think it's time that I've gone away

the feelings that you have for me

have gone away it's plain to see

and it looks to me that your pulling away



I'm gonna pick it up

I'm gonna pick it up today

I'm bound pack it up

I'm bound pack it up and go away



I've found it hard to say to you

that this is what I have to do

but there is no way that I'm gonna stay

there are so many things you need to know

and I wanna tell you before I go

but it's hard to think of just what to say



I'm gonna pick it up

I'm gonna pick it up today

I'm bound pack it up

I'm bound pack it up and go away



I'm sorry to leave you all alone

you're sitting silent by the phone

but we'd always known there would come a day

the bus is warm and softly lit

and a hundred people ride in it

I guess I'm just another runaway



I'm gonna pick it up

I'm gonna pick it up today

I'm bound pack it up

I'm bound pack it up and go away
