hold on honey i'd like to say
i'm bustin out and breakin away
i'm letting you go like a hot horseshoe
i can't take another heartache from you.

think about how it's gonna be
when you start back to needin me
when your dancin shoes have lost their shine
i'm gonna be gone in mine.

i'm leavin now,
i'm leavin now.
get outta my face
get outta my place
i'm leavin now,
adios
i'm leavin now.

and the time'd come when you'd trim the fat
feed the kitchen scraps to the front seat cat
bye bye baby when the bills come due
you might have to give up a jewel or two.
eat your heart out anyway,
it's hard as your head and it's cold as clay
it's all over now you won't have me,
your sugar daddy or your money tree.

i'm leavin now,
i'm leavin now.
get outta my face
get outta my place
i'm leavin now,
adios
i'm leavin now.

pull up the collar on that travelin coat
sell that miserable pleasure boat
i wouldn't trade a nickel for another buck,
i'm livin on muscle with guts and luck.

if anybody asks where did i go
tell em i went where the wild goose go.
i won't even have me an area code
don't need a number
don't need a road.

i'm leavin now,
i'm leavin now.
get outta my face
get outta my place
i'm leavin now,
adios
i'm leavin now.
