There was a train leaving for a big beat in a big life Are you coming? I may have asked you once or twice But I´d already left the hallway with broken lights
Some dingy landing we used to tumble from Where the stairs were cracked and worn, whatever
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone
And the songs were pushing harder all the time Wasn´t your fault, then again, it wasn´t mine Broke, frustrated, and obsessed You saw me as ridiculous, I guess
And I didn´t know from nothing, not even my own voice But I knew there was something and I knew there was no choice I was leaving mostly heartache but I was in no mood to rejoice There was so much that was wrong, whatever
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone) Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
Well, maybe I´ll hit the road with Bob or maybe hitch a ride with Van It´s all gonna happen and I´ll be a happening man And God must still be laughing at a boy and his plans In the streets where they were born
And the hopscotch traces, well, you can still see them here The chalk lines faded and unclear Time for me to disappear Put my old boots back on, whatever
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone) Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone) Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
