In my mind I'm waving goodbye In my mind I'm taking a plane outta here Tell you I love you, buy you a meal Count the birds on my window sill And wave goodbye In my mind I walk in the snow Watch the rabbits as they go In caves nearby Hawk takes off across the sky I sit on a log and wait for a while With a deep sigh You ask me why I take it in Cause I'm gonna die In my mind I'm under the lights Driving along in this highway night And feeling fine Locusts in my ear Takes me back to the days When I was a kid in the deep south You ask me why I take it in Cause I'm gonna die You ask me why I take it in In my mind I'm waving goodbye In my mind I'm taking a plane outta here
