If you don't believe I'm leaving, wait for me to say goodbye
If you don't believe I'm leaving, wait for me to say goodbye
It's too cold 'round here, you know the reason why
If you don't believe I'm going, check my trunk is already gone
If you don't believe I'm going, check my trunk is already gone
I got to leave this town, I can't stand being alone
If you don't believe I'm going, wait for me to say goodbye
If you don't believe I'm going, wait for me to say goodbye
I'm sure you're gonna miss me, and hang your head and cry (all right all right all right!)
(Harmonica Solo)
You better believe I'm leaving, my trunk's already gone
You better believe I'm leaving, my trunk's already gone
I got to leave this town, you know you doing me wrong
Now if I get lucky, and win my plane fare home
Now if I get lucky, and win my plane fare home
I'm going back to Arkansas, that is where I'as born
(All right, let's take it on home now!)
