INTRO
C, *,Am7, **, C, *, pause 

C
I've been packin' my bags 

I'll be headin' down south 
           Am7                  C
By the time graduation rolls around 

Where the weather is warmer 
             Am7          (Hold)
And the people are fresh 

VERSE
C
I'll be ponderin' life, 
                      Am7
Doin' my time on the road 
C                            Am7 (1 strum)
Pedal to the metal in my 1999 ford 

PRECHORUS
Em7/B                  G     
And all my life in one place 
Em7/B                               G (1 strum)
I've done my time but i've lost the race 

CHORUS
C
I've been workin' my ass off 
Am7
Trying to find the part of me 
                 F
My friends all miss 
          G
But honestly.. 

I'm kinda fed up with 
C
All this advice, 

But never a sign.. 
Am7
Should I stay? 
                 F
Or should I go away? 
G
All to find 

The better half of me 

VERSE II
C
I've got this spare change 
                      Am7
I'll be sendin' souvenirs 
                          C
To all my friends up north 
                            
Where the weather is cooler 
Am7
And the people are dull 

VERSE
C
I'll be ponderin' life, 
                      Am7
Doing my time on the road 
C                          Am7
Pedal to the metal in my 1999 Ford 

PRECHORUS
Em7/B                G     
And all my life in one place 
Em7/B                                G (1 strum)
I've done my time but i've lost the race
