It's been a long time coming, heading for the door
There ain't nothing for me here no more
I'm leaving I'm leaving
And I've been dreaming for oh so long
This day would come and I'll be gone
No grieving, no grieving
Once I'm on the road
It's gonna be out with the old
Old
I'll be gone in the morning
I'll be gone my dear
Oh so long I'll be leaving
Now I got my ticket out of here, here, here
It weren't always bad don't get me wrong
This was my home for oh so long
Remember, remember
But I done my time where the rich man preys
And I'm moving on to brighter days
Forever, forever
Once I'm on that bus
You know you won't see me for dust
Dust
I'll be gone in the morning
I'll be gone my dear
Oh so long I'll be leaving
Now I got my ticket out of here, here, here
Tomorrow I'll be waiting on the one way train
To take me away from the pouring rain
Forever, forever
Just one last thing before I leave
I got a little biddy trick sitting up my sleeve,
I'll show you, I'll show you
I got a ticket going free
Won't you come along with me?
With me
I'll be gone in the morning
I'll be gone my dear
Oh so long I'll be leaving
Now I got my ticket out of here, here, here
