Manfred Mann's Earth Band 1972

chorus:

I'm up and I'm leaving

Gonna spread my wings

Gonna get out the country and do big things

I'm up and I'm leaving

Gettin' out of this place

Gonna get on the Green Line to join the rat race

And if you see my ma or pa

Tell them that I ain't going far

I'm going to the great big city

I'm gonna buy what they call a car

chorus

Gonna leave the fields and the crops behind

I'm gonna see what life's about

I know I've been saying that for the past six years

But now I'm getting out

chorus

And if you see my friend

The one without a name

Say to him that I'm gonna go

But I ain't coming back again

Now listen Luke to what I say

That Green Line comes around here

Tell all my friends when they come to the city

I'll buy them all a beer
