Leavin’ Today

I’m leavin’ this town today
To some place I don’t know.
Can’t say why exactly
Just need someplace to go.

One city’s as good as another.
They all start looking the same.
Don’t much matter the reasons.
I don’t put much stock in blame.

Got a clean shirt in my backpack
And a couple dozen warm socks.
Got a good pair of boots
That can kick a few thousand rocks.

I’ve memorized a hundred or more songs
I can sing to pass away time.
But there’s nothin’ much in my pockets
Save for a nickel, few pennies and a dime.

This trek is just what I need.
I’m gonna take a bead on the sun.
I don’t rightly know where I’m headin’
But I do know this journey’s begun.
