Murray McLauchlan - Takin' My Leave lyrics

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
