I'm Bound To Pack It Up

Lyrics Information

I've thought about it for awhile
and I've thought about the many miles
but I think it's time that I've gone away
the feelings that you have for me
have gone away it's plain to see
and it looks to me that you're pulling away
I'm gonna pick it up
I'm gonna pick it up today
I'm bound to pack it up
I'm bound to pack it up and go away

I find it hard to say to you
that this is what I have to do
but there is no way that I'm gonna stay
there's so many things you need to know
and I wanna tell you before I go
but it's hard to think of just what to say
I'm gonna pick it up
I'm gonna pick it up today
I'm bound to pack it up
I'm bound to pack it up and go away
I'm sorry to leave you all alone
you're sitting silent by the phone
but we've always known there would come a day
the bus is warm and softly lit
and a hundred people ride in it
I guess I'm just another running away
I'm gonna pick it up
I'm gonna pick it up today
I'm bound to pack it up
I'm bound to pack it up and go away
oh yeah, yeah
