Think ahead before you open your mouth

I might be thinking it through.

Gonna pack my things and catch a train headed
South.

Or step right out of my car, into the

Rain drippin' down my fingers,

Into my eyes, you won't see me cryin' but,

What will you do when I am gone.

I creep slowly out of my bed,

Take one final look at you.

To empty out all those sweet memories from my
head.

How did I ever end up playing your fool but,

what will you do when I am gone.

I creep slowly out of my bed,

Take one final look at you.

To empty out all those sweet memories from my
head.

How did I ever end up playing your fool but

I'm on a train bound for glory,

Goin' klickity klack klickity klack

Away from you but

What will you do, when I am gone?

How the hell you ever get to be so damn cool?

Suck down my money and throw my love away.

How the hell did you ever get to be so damn
slick?

You'll come slidin' slidin' down some day but,

I'm on a train bound for glory.

Goin' klickity klack klickity klack

Away from you but,

What will you do when I am gone?
