lyrics

Some times I feel like fuck it all
Give it all up to the luck of the draw
I'm at the bottom of the barrel
And that barrel's barreling
Down the Rocky River to Niagara Falls
So I should start over before I fall over
A clean break, a clean slate, get clean and sober
Clean cut and honest, clean out my closet
Clean up my act like colon cleaned out, colonics
All I've accomplished seems not to matter
One rung up the ladder and I'm bruised and battered
War torn and tattered, my dreams are all shattered
I should pack up my shit and head north to Alaska
Or west to Nebraska cause something feels wrong here
Like I don't belong here, I've been here too long, yeah
So this is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone
This is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone

(Chorus)
When the world echoes away
(I got my bags packed, I ain't never coming back, I ain't never coming back, I ain't never coming back)
We fade out
When the world echoes away
(You might miss me while I'm gone, but I'm never coming home, I ain't never coming home, I ain't never coming home)
Time is now

Maybe I can find my calling in New Orleans
A change of location just may solve all my problems
New one's may arise but at least they'll be small ones
Small town living man, I'm already falling
In love with the idea, start a new life here
A house on the hill, a brand new job and a wife, yeah
I want it so bad, I feel so stuck where I'm at
The forward progress I make, I take two giant steps back
And then, I think of leaving, yeah, maybe this evening
Just hop on a bus and buy a ticket to Cleveland
A new name, a new number, I'll get a job chopping lumber
A brand new state on the license plate on the back of my bumper
Cause something feels wrong here, like I don't belong here
The feeling is strong that I should be moving on, yeah
So this is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone
This is my swan song, next year I'll be long gone

(Chorus)
