time ta' go
time ta' hit the road
carry my load
time ta' go

pack up
and geetie up
time ta' go
time ta' git the show
on the road

to where
i don't know
just there
where ever i go

maybe i'll see ya'
on the other side
maybe we'll take
the same ride

to no where
to somewhere
out there
down that same road
carryin' our own load

pack up the car
head for the northin' star
go as far
as it'll git me
that's where i'll be

some lonely motel
what the hell
who can tell
oh well

on a lonley
moonless night
outt'a sight
you just might
find me

i'm the one
lookin' around
like he heard the sound
of poetry
yeah, that be me

you'll shake your head
give me a nod
and i'll nod
back
"thank you"
you say
"it's ok"
and you'll walk away

mr poetry
i be
i be history
a memory
in your thoughts
and in what you boughts

and you'll know
time ta' go
