Lyrics
I'm heading out on my own again
Got my wheel in motion, got some money to spend.
I'm heading out on my own again
It's a long, it's a long, long way from home.
Some folks think money's the answer,
to every problem known to man.
But I like to take life as a chancer,
I'm working on a wilder plan.
I'm heading out on my own again
Got my wheel in motion, got some money to spend.
I'm heading out on my own again
It's a long, it's a long, long way from home.
I heard it said so many times before,
That life's a bitch and then you die.
I don't subscribe to that no more.
Get busy living, and that's why.
I'm heading out on my own again
Got my wheel in motion, got some money to spend.
I'm heading out on my own again
It's a long, it's a long, long way from home.
(Sax Solo)
I'm heading out on my own again
Got my wheel in motion, got some money to spend.
I'm heading out on my own again
It's a long, it's a long, long way from home.
It's a long, it's a long, long way from home. To fade
