I've a mind to leave this same old grind behind
Board a bus bound for points unknown
Take the time required to let my head unwind -- and roam
Step up off the pavement -- get back to the earth
No more being measured by what another thinks I'm worth
I'm inclined to leave this same old grind behind
In search of a rebirth
Spent too much of my life -- "Thank you sir, thank
you ma'am"
Better to fall like a lion than feast with the lamb
Time to change up the game -- play by a new set of rules
Don't wanna go down on a damn ship of fools
I've a mind to leave this same old grind behind
Board a boat bound for ports unknown
Take the time required to let the mind unwind
Ease out on the foam
A lifetime in the city -- drowning on dry land
Gotta sail the ocean before I make my final stand
I'm resigned to leave this same old grind behind
A reckoning is at hand
Far too much of my life -- ...
Think it's time to leave this same old grind behind
Hop a train travellin' down the line
Make the time required to let my head unwind
Maybe find one southbound -- but north will do just fine
Rolling through the country -- soothing to the soul
There's nothing quite like nothing to make mind & body whole
Think it's time to leave this same old grind behind
Guess I'm gonna roll
Gonna roll ...
