Going Away

(albüm: Camp Lisa - 2008)

Going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.

Going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.

Going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
But before I leave, there are some things I'm gonna need:

Got my soap and towel and toothpaste, my sunscreen and my shoes,
My name sewn in my underwear, so no one gets confused.
Leave my turtle for my brother, teach him how to feed my snakes,
Make sure that my grandmother knows where to send the cupcakes.

I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
But before I'm through, there's some things I've gotta do.

Take the TV from my granpa's room and all his DVDs
'Cause I may not come back so soon, a day or two at least.
Take my Aunt Sally's harmonica that I might learn to play,
And the blue T-shirt with the hole in the shoulder that I wear every day.

I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
But before I leave, there's some things I'm gonna need.
Before I'm through, there's some things I've gotta do:

Got my soap and towel and toothpaste, my sunscreen and my shoes,
My name sewn in my underwear, so no one gets confused.
Leave my turtle for my brother, teach him how to feed my snakes,
My address for my grandmother so that she can mail me cupcakes;
The T-shirt and the TV, the harmonica and DVDs
'Cause I don't know what I might need, I might be gone a week.

Alarm clock, pet rock, my easy chair, sweat socks, headphones, stopwatch,
Book about Sasquatch, spray paint, compass, a cushion for my rumpus,
A ladle, and a radio, and Oreos, and I know, my dad bought me a flashlight,
Some ointment for a bug bite, a pen so maybe I'll write home…
Alright…

I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
I'm going away, I'm going away, I'm going away from home.
But before I leave, there's some things I'm gonna need.
Before I'm through, there's some things I've gotta do.
I'm going away for forever and a day.
I'm going away from home.
