He took the low road when there really was no road at all
No one there to stop him
No one there to tell him beware of the fall
He was all alone but he was not afraid
He was his own man
It was his own bed that he had made
Hit the road, Jack
Don't you come back
Don't you come back, no more, no more
Roll up the welcome mat
You're a real gone cat
There are other worlds to explore
He pulled off a great vanishing act
All to no one's surprise
He had willed himself into a place
That turned out to be a perfect disguise
He could be whatever he wanted
He could be the president
He could change his identity
He could change what he could represent
Who am I and what am I doing
Exactly where am I headed for
I am more than a little confused
There are lies and truths galore
Don't mind if I check out of here
There's got to be a better place
Perhaps another country
Perhaps somewhere in outer space
