I don't want you around no more.

I'm not gonna worry anymore.
No I ain't gonna let you hang around no more.
You gotta hit the road girl.
I'll give you a tank of gas and a car.
I'm sick of you now.

Time to get out now.
Time to get your journey on.
They say life's a highway.
You need to find that out.
Be it route 66 or a railroad track.
Please be on your way.
No, you can't stay with Ms.
Girl, I got to be free.
I've just got to be me.

Now don't be angry, don't be sad.
It's just the things are.

Take a boat, take a plane.
To me it's all the same.
Just get on your way.
Do it now.
I have nothing more to say.

Because do or die.
You have to get outta my way.

Yes get going babe.

Bye, bye, bye.

I left her standing at the altar. Wasn't ready for the married life. I wanted to see the world. I told her I wasn't ready. I had things I wanted to do. As the tears fell down her cheek, she told me she would wait for me. To this day I still think of her. I can recall the pain in her voice as I her her voice in my mind. I'll be waiting for you.

I wish I could tell her how sorry I am. I never met to hurt you. It's my fault and I live with that haunting me everyday. I should've went back for you because, I still love you.

I've been around the world. Seen alot of people. Sure, there were other girls. But they've came and gone. Leaving me lonely and forgotten. Life's been a lonely journey for me. I can't forget you though. Your words keep coming back to me. I'll be right here waiting for you. I've longed to go to you. But, you've long since moved on. As the years went by, I chose a different pathway. Now I am old and all alone. Nothing but those old memories of you to keep me company.

I left you standing in New Jersey

I left her standing in New Jersey

I left her standing at the altar long ago.

In New Jersey!!!

Even though I told you I'd be back one day. That day never came. Life has taken me far away.

She's still waiting there. She's waiting for me back there.

In New Jersey!

I left her standing there...

IN NEW JERSEY!!!

She's so mean to me let me tell you.
She treats me so unkind.

Last night I went down to the local watering hole. Just to hang out with some friends and knock back a few. All I wanted to do was have a good time.
I met a gal from Philly. We started to get to know each other a little bit. We weren't doing anything just talking and having a good time.

That's when she barged in. And I could tell she had that look in her eyes. The spark that starts that fire. Tonight's not gonna be good.

She asked me that question. The one that comes as a question. She asked me what are you doing with that spanking?

But before I could answer her question. She continued by saying.
I know what your thinking. Again I couldn't answer the little Philly jumped in the fire. She asked that certain question. Who are you calling a spanking?

I knew right then and there the fight was on.

As the fight got going, the hair and nails began flying. Because the girls were slapping and clawing. All I could think of was.

She's so mean to me. Makes my life a misery.
She seems so cute, sweet and nice.
Underneath her cloaks there's a dagger. Man, I wish she'd just leave me be. I wish I was free. But that woman is my ball and chain anchor. I wish everyone could see. That She's so mean to me.

To make a long story short. We'll, I gotta new gal now. My new gal is so much nicer. That little Philly has fire that burns so much hotter.

Now, I have to go along with her. Or else she burn me down. Yes she's a bad ass girl from Philadelphia. I'm afraid of her now. I'm afraid to mess around now.

She's gonna walk beside me. Make me walk the line now. I can't look around anymore. This woman of mine makes me hold her hand now. She's got her claws stuck in me.

No more nights out on the town now. This stallions been saddled. Can't hang with the boys no more. I even had to sell my Harley.

It's all because she was so mean to me....

I'm gettin the hell outta here.
Gonna fing a new place this year.
Yeah, I'm gettin the hell outta here.
Can't see myself staying anywhere near.
Gotta find someplace for my mind to clear.

Maybe I can chase that dream of mine.
Some place where folks are kind.
Someplace to unwind.
So, I've decided this is the time.
Can't stand living with this swine.
Going on my way with a freind of thine.

This place I'm going to is divine.
I'll know when I see the sign.
A place where I will no longer be in a bind.

Yea, I'm gettin the hell outta here.
Just gotta get my car in gear.
Need to go far from here.
Gonna be in another place next year.
Got to reset, get my mind clear.
Another place another town somewhere.

Well I guess I'll be going dear.
Goodbye now I'm leaving without a tear. I'll get going from my life that's so drear.

Well now I'm leaving here.
The good times, we had some here and there.
So, I got to get going now.
Gonna catch a flight out somehow.

Goodbye to you, much love to you all.
Thanks again, I'm leaving now that it's fall.

I said I'm gettin the Hell outta here.
I don't even care if it's far or near.
Somehow I need not fear.
Time I leave maybe another hemisphere.
Time to shift into gear.

Yes, yes I'm a leaving here.
Got to get the Hell outta here.
So goodbye I'm leaving you dear.
I've just got to get away from here.

They say Time heals all wounds.
They no how corny that sounds.
How much more can I take?
Can't stand anymore heart ache.
That's why I must go away.
Now is the time I was on my way.
No, no, I just can't stay.
I won't ever come back after today.

Goodbye again time to go.
No looking back, I'm outta here.
Don't wish to live in the past.
Nothing is made to last.

Thanks again for being a pain in my ass. Our life together is a pile of ash.
Oh honey thanks but this is no fun.
You always thought our life was fun.
While you were spinninning the web you've spun.

I'm gettin the he'll outta here.
No more of this I'm done!

Tonight I'm gonna sit out in the rain. Yeah, a downpour is moving in over the horizon.

I'm heading out in it tonight. Gonna get right tonight. A flood is coming. Coming for you.

Flood waters are already rising. It's getting worse. Yeah, a flood is coming baby. It's gonna wash away my memory of you.

Tonight I'm going down to filthy Dave's tavern. Gonna set at a table. Gonna drink til I get my fill.

A floods a coming baby. That whiskey gonna burn away your memory. I'm gonna stay right here until I can't remember you at all. I'm gonna hit that bar so I don't think of you any more.

A flood is coming baby. Coming to cleanse my mind. They say liquor is quicker. Looks like I'm bout to find that out.

A flood is coming baby. Going to wash you away. Going to drink alot of beer and tequila. Cause I gotta forget about you.

Gonna drink til I can't no more. Gonna wine and dine til my mind is gone. I said a flood is coming baby. It's gonna take car of you. Yeas, it's gonna pour tonight.

I say a flood is coming baby. The thought of you is gonna float away. You better get to higher ground because that water is knee high and rising. Looks like a pourout this evening.

Oh the floods are here I'm thinking your out of here.

A floods a coming, looks like a bad night for you.

Better look for high ground that water carry you away.

I've made many mistakes in my life. Nothing any bigger than the day I watched you walk away from me.

I swore that day you'd be sorry. I told myself I was better off without you. I kept saying she'll be sorry one day. But, I'm the one feeling sorry.

I admit now that I was the one at fault. I did you wrong and that's on me. I disrespected you and all that you did for me. Yeah, that was me. I did that to you.

Well, I'm trying to keep it real. I'm not doing that well at it. I thought you would be coming back home. Now I know.

She won't be lonely long. No, now I know she won't be lonely long. No, now I know she won't be lone, lone, lonely long. And, that's all on me.

Now I know, I'm not the kind to admit fault in any way. But, today, I realized I caused it all.

As I sit here thinking about our time together. I know where I went wrong. Man, do I wish I could go back and right the wrongs and start again.

Because she ain't lonely now. No,no, she ain't lonely now at all.

She's out there living it up as I sit here waiting for her to step back into my life, trying to live in the past.

She won't be lonely long. No you know, she won't be lonely to long. She won't be lonely, lonely long.

As I sit here thinking about the way things were. She's fast forwarding while I'm rewinding.

And, it's all because...

She She won't be lonely long. No now I know. She ain't lonely no more.

No I now know she ain't lonely anymore.

Baby, I sure am sorry. Cause, I'm the one who's lonely now.

Oh she ain't lonely now at all. No, no she ain't lonely now..

She won't be lonely.
She wont be lonely now.
She won't be lonely.
She want be lonely.
She won't be lonely now.

As I sit here looking back I realize.
She ain't lonely at all.....

I don't want you around no more.
I'm not gonna worry anyhow.

No I ain't going to hang around.
I gotta hit the road.
See just how far a tank of gas will go. So, since k of living in this town.
Yes, I'm sick of hanging around this dead horse town.

Like Joe Dirt, I need to fill that hole inside my heart right now.

Yeah I'm ready to get my journey on.
Life is a highway. I wanna ride on one now. Be it Route 66 or That Lincoln highway, I wanna try it somehow.

I can't take you with me, I must sailor alone.

Please don't be mad or sad. This is just something I gotta do.

Just me, the highway, and some Eddie Money on the radio.

Driving the rest of my life away and, doing it my way.

Because I'm going to go do or die.
Yes, I'm going bye bye baby bye bye.

I miss the old days. Yeah, I miss the old time ways.

I long for those old days those were the fun days. Times were good back then. Friends came around back then. Music was good back then.

I miss the old rime ways. Times were different back then. Yeah, I missthose good old days. Playing in the yard with friends. Going fishing along the riverbank with dad. Hanging with cousins on the weekends.

Oh how I miss back then. Things aren't the same now. I wish I could go back again. Those times were fun. Oh I miss those days.

Nothing much happens like that today. People are to busy it seems. Social media ruled us today. No one has time to enjoy the simple things. Yeah, I miss those old time ways. Life was just better back then.

I miss the old days. Yeah, I miss those days. I really miss the old time ways. Oh how I miss those old days and those old was.

I wish I could turn back time. Go back to that time. Back to when I was young again.

Yes, I miss way back then.
