Gotta get going’ 'cause I can’t stay  here long now,
          D                                   A
'cause I'm tired of the way, I've been dogged around,
            E                                      A
well, I've got to roam, maybe find me a brand new home.

I’m goin’ to some place where I’ve never been before.

I’m goin’, I’m goin’ where the water tastes like wine,

A
    just exactly where I’m goin’ I cannot say,
      D                                A
but         we might even leave the U.S.A.,
              E                 E7                 A
’cause there’s a brand new game that  I don’t want to play.

No use of you running or screaming and crying,
