[Verse 1]
I'm too tired to get a job
Gonna thumb out of Abilene
It's time to take a chance on
Someplace I've never ever seen, yeah
'Cause I got nothing to lose

Too much to see it all
There's miles in front of me
Street signs, never mind
I'm gonna do just what I, what I please
'Cause I got nothing to prove

[Chorus]
Whispers on the window
Gone without a trace
By the time you look for me
Well, I'll be somewhere far away

[Verse 2]
Don't know if I'll stop
I've never been to New Orleans
I'm just a rolling rock, yeah
Going to make a break, break it clean
Don't want nothing but the truth, oh
[Chorus]
Whispers on the window
Gone without a trace
By the time you look for me
Well, I'll be somewhere far away
(Far away, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
Solitary, all alone, and (solitary)
To the quick and to the bone, and
On the edge and unafraid
What's behind begins to fade

[Chorus]
Whispers on the window
Gone without a trace
By the time you look for me
(By the time you look for me)
Well, I'll be somewhere far away

[Outro]
Too tired to get a job
Thumb out of Abilene
I'm too tired to get a job
