[introduction, banjo with a walking beat] [verse 1] Going is sometimes hard Leaving a place that Held you dear. It’s ok to shed a tear For you and me. Going is sometimes easy Leavin dirty old city lights Or a small old town Full of frowns. [pre-chorus] Sometimes you gotta Pack up your shit And gotta Git, Git, Git [Chorus] But if you got no dark You got no light. You might have eyes But you won’t have sight. If you never go You’ll never know What its like living In deserts or snow. you never leave You’ll never arrive. see anything new Burning up your tires Until you’re old and tired. If you never leave, you’ll never arrive. [verse 2] Arriving can take some time Chasing neon rainbows Up and down the old Chicago line. Arriving can take some time Looking for a place Meeting new people seeing new faces [pre-chorus] Sometimes you gotta Pack up your shit And gotta Git, Git, Git [Chorus] if you got no dark You got no light. You might have eyes But you won’t have sight. If you never go You’ll never know What its like living In deserts or snow. You’ll never arrive. see anything new Burning up your tires Until you’re old and tired. If you never leave, you’ll never arrive. [banjo and ukelele solo] [verse 3] Once you land finally find a place to stand. Put down some roots And be a good man. You’ll hear it in the night feeling don’t seem right Hear that train a calling Worlds a gettin smaller [pre-chorus] Sometimes you gotta Pack up your shit And gotta Git, Git, Git [Chorus] But if you got no dark You got no light. You might have eyes But you won’t have sight. If you never go You’ll never know What its like living In deserts or snow. You’ll never arrive. won’t see anything new Burning up your tires Until you’re old and tired. If you never leave, you’ll never arrive. [conclusion] If you never leave You’ll never arrive.
