[Instrumental intro] [Intro] [Verse 1] The city streets, they got me down The noise, the crowds, they wear me out I need a change, a place more free Where I can live more peacefully [Chorus] So I'm leavin', goin' far away To a better world, a brighter day Leavin' all this behind, yeah Goin' where my heart can find The peace and quiet that I need Away from all this concrete I'm takin' the first train outta town Leavin' this life, hangin' my head down [Verse 2] No more traffic, no more stress Just open skies, and wilderness Far from the city's neon lights Where I can breathe, day and night [Chorus] So I'm leavin', goin' far away To a better world, a brighter day Leavin' all this behind, yeah Goin' where my heart can find The peace and quiet that I need Away from all this concrete I'm takin' the first train outta town Leavin' this life, hangin' my head down [Bridge] No more payin' the rent No more workin' 'til I'm spent Gonna find me a little piece of land Start a new life, lend a helpin' hand [Solo] [Chorus] 'Cause I'm leavin', goin' far away To a better world, a brighter day Leavin' all this behind, yeah Goin' where my heart can find The peace and quiet that I need Away from all this concrete I'm takin' the first train outta town Leavin' this life, hangin' my head down
