And he's goin' back to mine (goin' back to mine)
And he's goin' back to find (goin' back to find)
I'd rather live in Pittsburgh
Than live without him in Maine.
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
I've got a liking for kilts.
I've got a licence to kill.
L.A. through too much pouring rain
Ummm, L.A. proved too much for the man.
So he burned down his house
And even stole his own car.
So he pawned all his hopes
And even sold his old car.
Ummmm, golly, proved too much for the man.
Ummm, L.A. proved too much for the man.
(Guess he's gonna pay that parking fine)
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)
Big ass train to Georgia
Midnight train to Georgia
He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to gourgeous
He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia
She's breathing (breathing)
She's leaving (leaving)
She's meeting (meeting)
She's leaving (leaving)
She's meeting
She's leaving
She's reading (reading)
She's leaving (leaving)
She’s reading (reading)
She’s leaving (leaving)
The lake
L.A.
L.A. obviously refers to Los Angeles.
This weekend (weekend)
She's leaving (leaving)
