Steppin' Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pack up all your things
We're gonna be leaving
Sooner than I thought
Take the things you bought
Clouds are gathering.
Say goodbye to all your friends
We're gonna be sorry
For a while, that's how it goes
But then again, who knows
About the rain.
CHORUS:
I'm steppin' out
I'm moving on
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone
I'm gonna be somebody...
Oh, I'm steppin' out.
Did you hear what he said?
He said they sold me down the river
They thought I was a fool
They said the rain would fall
What did they know?
Then I saw your face
And the song that you were singing
Though I thought I knew the words
The tune was quite absurd and out of key
Doo dah dah dee.
REPEAT CHORUS
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out.
Don't know where I'm going
Gonna see the world, gonna be somebody
Don't know where I'm going
I'm just steppin' out
I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out.
