One of these days when my minds made up
And I'm sick and tired of hanging around
I'll be on my way in a cloud of dust
On the road to another town
Once upon a time I loved this house
Now I'm thinking 'bout burning it down
And I'll be long gone when the fire burns out
On the way to another town
To see another city in another light
With my past behind me and my future bright

One of these days when I've had enough
Buddy, you ain't going to see me around
Just as soon as I get my courage up
Going to take it to another town

I used to walk these streets with my head held high
Now I'm always looking down at the ground
But I see my feet on the outbound side
Of a road to another town

And I'm going to tell everybody I know
Yeah I'm going to spread it around
That there's a great big world out there where I go
On the road to another town
To see another city in another light
With my past behind me and my future bright

One of these days when my mind's made up
And I'm sick and tired of hanging around
I'll be down that road in a cloud of dust
On the way to another town
