Mister porter takes my bags
Got my ticket got my tags
I'm leaving
Put me on a big runway
There's nothing here to make me stay
I'm leaving
I'm going south by southwest
Where the world knows me best
South by southwest this time
These streets don't know my name
I walked them looking for fame
And I'm leaving
Never seen such a lonely sight
Broadway when they turn out the light
I'm leaving
Went looking for the free world
That much I know
I never knew how far I'd go
End of the world or the earth around
I was searching I found it in my home town.
