Well, I'm going to Rocky Island
To ho' honey ho'
I'm going to Rocky Island and never comin' home

From old Montana to Alabama
I've been before and I'll try it again
You triflin' women can't keep a good man down

You dealt the cards but you missed the play
So hit the road and be on your way
Wanna board that Golden Rocket and leave this town

My lover begins and I'm running on time
But honey I'm switching to another line
No one's going to hang the signal out for me

Well, I'm tired of running and I'm sick of trackin'
Got a one-way ticket and I won't come back
Going to board that golden rocket and leave this town

It's a short life of trouble
A few more words to leave
It's a short life of troubled little girl
And a whole world to see
