[Verse]
I'm feeling sad and lonely
And there’s a reason why
Because I've been mistreated
I wish that I could die
All you've ever brought to me was sorrow
That’s why I'm leaving here tomorrow
I'll tell the world, I've sang my last goodbye
[Chorus]
Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
I'm going away, I'll be gone a long, long time
'Cause I’m tired of grieving and make-believing
Over someone whose heart’s like iron
I'm going away just to see if I can find
A real sweet man that will treat me nice and kind
I’m going north or south, anywhere
East or west, I don't care
I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
[Chorus]
I said I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
I’m going away, I'll be gone a long, long time
'Cause I'm tired of grieving and make-believing
Over someone whose heart's like iron
Lord, I'm going away just to see if I can find
A sweet man that will treat me nice and kind
I'm going north or south, anywhere
East or west, I don't care
I'll travel this world to get you off my mind
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I'm going away just to see if I can find
A real sweet man that will treat me nice and kind
I'm going north or south, anywhere
East or west, I don't care
I'm going away just to wear you off my mind
