You can take my life
But don't take away my automobile
It means nothin' to you
But it'll take me away from here
And when I roll, I will feel no pain
You'll never see me hangin' 'round your house again
Call it takin' my leave
Please don't call it runnin' away
You can say I'm no good
And you're right
I've done you nothin' but wrong
I'm skinny and weak
But that engine makes me feel so strong
I save all my money
For the gasoline
My clothes are dirty
But the windshield's clean
Call it takin' my leave
Please don't call it runnin' away
I've got electric wires in mt body
'Stead of human veins
I'm headin' for the crossing
And I'm hopin' I can beat the train
But if the train gets there
Before I do
I'll be stealin' parts in heaven too
Call it takin' my leave
Please don't call it runnin' away
