Hey man
Meet me at the Jerk
I’m going out of town
I’ve been drowning in my life’s work
No need for sympathetic talk
I know I’m in my prime
But it’s time to take a long walk

Put my picture in a frame
Something tells me I won’t come back the same

I’m going north for a while
I’m gonna see how the other half dreams
I’m going north for a while
I will position myself between the two extremes
I’m going north for a while
I’m gonna learn to forget and forgive myself

Hey mom
The kid can have my things
I’m pining for the freedom
That needing nothing else brings
Don’t try to talk me back inside
Just see me to the door
’Cause I’m going on a long ride

Give my best to everyone
I can be reached in the land of the midnight sun
