I been working like a dog and I ain’t talking 9 to 5 Breaking my back for a buck barely getting by So it’s time I lose the working man blues and forget the day today And have myself a weekend getaway
I’m going way out there, yeah way out where No one can get to me Way down south of sober Past the edge of sanity I’m gonna open up a bottle and toss away the lid Yeah tonight I’m going off the grid
Got half a [?] of wood And a fire pit right out back Old Hank and George and Mearle and Jim and Jane A moonlight guitar, a couple of chords And a pile of hurting songs I might sing outta key but I’ll sure sing along
I’m going way out there, yeah way out where No one can get to me Way down south of sober Past the edge of sanity I’m gonna open up a bottle and toss away the lid Yeah tonight I’m going off the grid
I’m going way out there, yeah way out where No one can get to me Way down south of sober Past the edge of sanity I’m gonna open up a bottle and toss away the lid Yeah tonight I’m going off the grid Yeah tonight I’m going off the grid I’m going Long gone
