I've got a friend said that she'd invite me.
   A
I came here in the morning,
And I crept out in the middle of the night.
I gave nobody warning I was leaving,
And felt it was right.
        H
Now I'm off again,
        E                 A
And it sure is feeling alright.
       A
Got a feeling that I'm leaving
with a ticket and I won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing
that my leaving was a-wrong, it was right
        H
Now I'm off again,
        E                 A
And it sure is feeling alright.

I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane,
I gotta jump a ride on a cattle trucking slow train.
