Going to Maine
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.
You and me are in a lot of trouble
And somebody's gonna burst our bubble
Your husband
My wife
My marriage
Your life
Let's go to Maine out on the East Coast
Let's go to Maine right now
Let's beat the retreat
Let's hop on the plane
Let's get out of here
Let's go to Maine
Someone knows what's going on
Someone knows, and someone's gonna tell
Someone's gonna wrap us up in styrofoam and paper
And mail us flat-rate right down to Hell
Repeat Chorus twice, drink heavily for 6 months, repeat Chorus again
