Working all day at a steady job,
Wearing holes in my shoes,
People are saying everywhere,
How can you look so cool,
Been down here for 10 long years,
I got to get away, packing my bags and,
Never looking back. Leaving is the way.

Working for free, I never make a dime,
I'm always tired and abused,
Engineer making me work overtime,
So he can catch the 6:00 news,
I've been down for 10 long years,
I got to get away, packing my bags and,
Never looking back. Leaving is the way.

Carried my part of the heavy load,
I feel I've paid my dues,
Got to get out from underneath this grind,
I feel the end is coming soon,
I've been down here for 10 long years,
I got to get away, packing my bags and,
Never looking back. Leaving is the way.
