I've been packin' my bags
i'll be headin' down south
by the time graduation rolls around
where the weather is warmer
and the people are fresh

i'll be ponderin' life,
doin' my time on the road
pedal to the metal in my 1999 ford

and all my life in one place
i've done my time but i've lost the race

i've been workin' my [bad word] off
trying to find the part of me
my friends all miss
but honestly..
i'm kinda fed up with
all this advice,
but never a sign..
should i stay?
or should i go away?
all to find
the better half of me

i've got this spare change
i'll be sendin' souvenirs
to all my friends up north
where the weather is cooler
and the people are dull

i'll be ponderin' life,
doing my time on the road
pedal to the metal in my 1999 ford

and all my life in one place
i've done my time but i've lost the race

i've been workin' my [bad word] off
trying to find the part of me
my friends all miss
but honestly..
i'm kinda fed up with
all this advice,
but never a sign..
should i stay?
or should i go away?
all to find
the better half of me
