Packin' up to leave
And everything’s alive
Everything's on fire
Everything I own
I cannot believe
She left me here on wires, all exposed
In the lining of my soul

Now the boxes by the door are singin', "Where you gonna go?"
The piano in the drive, singin’, "Don't leave me alone"

Elizabeth wants to see me less
Jesus wants to see me more
He says he's got some things in storе

Say farewell and I'm gone back to Tеnnessee
Where they'll meet me with scorn
But I know they'll meet me
Say farewell and I will be on down the line
Say farewell and I'm gone back to Tennessee

Written on the wall
Are all the memories
In pieces now they fall
Terrible, my penmanship I know is gonna cost
A couple here and there but baby they're not lost
They’re written on my soul
Now the boxes by the door are singin’, "Where we gonna go?"
The piano down the drive, down 6th avenue it rolls

Elizabeth wants to see me less
She says I was a lost cause
That time will never fix my flaws

Say farewell and I'm gone back to Tennessee
Where they’ll meet me with scorn
But I know they'll meet me
Say farewell and I will be on down the line
Say farewell and I'm gone back to Tennessee
