You feel like you're upside down

Working hard trying to make some bread

It's too bad how a man must work to get along

But to live you know he needs the pay

Peace and quiet, peace and quiet

     E
So I ought to be up and leaving this town

A                   Esus4
headed down an open road

     E
With all that you own kinda thrown on the back seat

If only you could pack up everything you love

     E          A       E           A
And everyone who'd ever been your friend

     E          A       E     A
Keeping close to you the things that make you strong

     E          A       E     A
Carry them with you around the bend

     E          A       E     A
The fear to move and meet the new can keep you in line

     E          A       E     A
To go you know that somethin' stays behind

     E          A       E     A
Separate the good and bad and take along the kind

     E          A       E     A
To the place you'd like to be and right on time, time
