I've got a job back in Texas Cutting the grass before breakfast Cleaning the park I'm there till it's dark But I'm saving up for a Lexus I know it's fun But I've got to leave Over the sea with my family Just for a smile To be there for a while And the difference is true I will miss you That's the way it is As if it was planned I've got to let go If I still want your hand When I return I'll buy you a grand You can play the piano In your own little band Stuff what they say Just thrust it away It was all said too fast We must build this to last I have the blood I'm a family man Answer to the question Ask as long as you can It's gonna take A change for the world Change color and shape Meets every boy and girl That's the way it is As if it was planned I've got to let go If I still want your hand
